He also investigates the hidden course of streams and bell-wires, the way the water gets from the pond
through the wall..."

“Very few of us can now place ourselves in the mental condition in which even such philosophers as the
great Descartes were involved in the days before Newton had announced the true laws of the motion of
bodies.”
