88/183 Will you turn two or three times in your mind this question: what I called "pangenesis" means that each cell throws off an atom of its contents or a gemmule, and that these aggregated form the true ovule or bud, etc.? From kuttaros, a bee's-cell: cytogenesis would be a natural form of the word from kutos.)--i.e.cell-genesis--is more true and expressive, but long. I believe I like "pangenesis" best, though so indefinite; and though my wife says it sounds wicked, like pantheism; but I am so familiar now with this word, that I cannot judge. I supplicate you to help me. |
