I never expected I would become that type of person who loves to dive into these really old books, but I'm that person. Today it was Walter Cannon's 1932 book Wisdom of the Body (where he coined the term "Homeostasis"). The opening paragraph is poetry for us all.

(The internet archive is feeding my new obsession.)
