- The author of the following excerpt has been correctly
identified by several people (Sir Winston S. Churchill), but
the book from which it was taken has not been. I will reveal
the answer in this week's class, so time is short for
you to figure out the answer by yourself.
"I have always loved butterflies. In Uganda I saw glorious butterflies the
colour of whose wings changed from the deepest russet brown to the most
brilliant blue, according to the angle from which you saw them. In Brazil as
everyone knows there are butterflies of this kind even larger and more
vivid. The contrast is extreme. You could not conceive colour effects more
violently opposed; but it is the same butterfly. The butterfly is the
Fact—gleaming, fluttering, settling for an instant with wings fully spread to
the sun, then vanishing in the shades of the forest. Whether you believe in
Free Will or Predestination, all depends on the slanting glimpse you had of
the colour of his wings—which are in fact at least two colors at the same
time."
