Our renewed spirit rises from its subjugation with a celestial strength and consolation.

It is believed that in the midst of a fight, a bull can find his own particular area of safety in the arena. There he can reclaim his strength and power.

Yet when he finds his querencia, he gathers his strength and loses his fear. From the matador's perspective, at this point the bull is truly dangerous, for he has tapped into his power.

He seemed indifferent, or inattentive, to most things else, being wholly dedicated to his single passion, chemistry. It was this pure and passionate absorption in phenomena-noticing everything, forgetting nothing-that constituted Scheele's special strength.

When we do that, the humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world.
