“In calling up images of the past, I find that the plains of Patagonia frequently cross before my eyes; yet these plains are pronounced by all wretched and useless...without habitations; without water; without trees; without mountains; they support merely a few dwarf plants. Why then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have those arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory?” — Charles Darwin
