- A fallen tree in the woods near the Little Family Cemetery. It is Christmas Day 2024 and the sky is blue with some whisps of clouds. The trees are bare, and the ground is brown. This large tree has collapsed in the woods. I wonder about its age and whether it was ever seen by the family when it was young.
- But there are many other circumstances which evince that what I have alleged is the true cause of the motion of the blood: thus, in the first place, the difference that is observed between the blood which flows from the veins, and that from the arteries, can only arise from this, that being rarefied; and, as it were, distilled by passing through the heart, it is thinner, and more vivid, and warmer immediately after leaving the heart, in other words, when in the arteries, than it was a short time before passing into either, in other words, when it was in the veins; and if attention be given, it will be found that this difference is very marked only in the neighbourhood of the heart; and is not so evident in parts more remote from it.
