Note 22 — Chapter XX · FABRE’S WRITINGS (CONTINUED)
Bernard Miall translation
J. H. Fabre does not stop half-way to the truth for fear of meeting God. He is logical, loyal, and courageous to the end. He argues from the facts to laws and from laws to causes, and from them to the “Cause of causes,” the “Reason of reasons,”22 concerning which, says M. Perrier, he has not “the pedantic feebleness of grudging it the name of God.”23
