“The work I have done has, already,
been adequately rewarded and
recognized. Imagination reaches out repeatedly trying to achieve some
higher level of understanding, until suddenly I find myself momentarily
alone before one new corner of nature's pattern of beauty and true
majesty revealed. That was my reward. ”
