A gorgeous little poem that takes Charles Darwin and his reputed love of stories as its starting point.
This symbol - one of the fathers of modern science, upholding the value of story as something vital, alongside the scientific fact of his work - presents questions about what truth is.
And asks us to consider whether truth is something more than just a collection of facts.
