A tiny man
This diminutive gentleman — 21 inches, 6 pounds 14 ounces — joined our family on the 22nd, at 7:53PM. On Christmas, we decided we would give him an epistemological (or maybe even ontological) gift: the name Dylan Darwin Creitz.
These days, we think of two bearers of the name “Dylan”. First, there’s Dylan Thomas, the eminent Welsh poet of the 20th century, famous for his concise diction and his sense of euphony. Second, there’s Bob Dylan, the bardic name chosen by Robert Zimmerman; like Thomas, he is famous for his economy with words.
Before the work of Charles Darwin, biology was barely a science, just a welter of facts. His special genius was to see the single, simple narrative that underlies all of life, an act of concision that any poet would envy.
