All but two first appeared in the 1609
Publication entitled Shakespeare's Sonnets;
numbers 138
("When my love swears that she is made of truth")
and 144
("Two loves have I, of comfort and despair")

Dame Cicely Saunders
Humanitarian
(June 22, 1918 – July 14, 2005)

was a prominent British nurse, physician
and writer, involved with many
international universities.
She was most famous for her role in
the birth of the hospice movement, emphasizing
the importance of palliative care in modern medicine.

Charles Darwin
The father of modern evolution theory.
(12 February 1809 – 19 April 1882)

Was a British naturalist who achieved
lasting fame by convincing
the scientific community
of the occurrence of evolution and proposing
the theory that this could be explained through
natural and sexual selection.
This theory is now considered the central
explanatory paradigm in biology.
He developed an interest in natural history
while studying first medicine, then theology,
at university. Darwin's five-year voyage
on the Beagle and subsequent writings
brought him eminence as a geologist
and fame as a popular author. H
is biological observations led him to study
the transmutation of species and,
in 1838, develop his theory of natural selection.
Fully aware that others had been severely punished
for such "heretical" ideas, he only confided
in his closest friends and continued
his research to meet anticipated objections.
However, in 1858 the information that
Alfred Russel Wallace had developed
a similar theory forced early joint
publication of the theory.
His 1859 book On the Origin of Species
by Means of Natural Selection, or
The Preservation of Favoured Races in
the Struggle for Life
(usually abbreviated to The Origin of Species)
established evolution by common descent
as the dominant scientific explanation
of diversification in nature.
He was made a Fellow of the Royal Society,
continued his research, and wrote
a series of books on plants and animals,
including humankind, notably
The Descent of Man, and
Selection in Relation to Sex
and The Expression of the Emotions in Man
and Animals.
In recognition of Darwin's pre-eminence,
he was buried in Westminster Abbey,
close to William Herschel and Isaac Newton.

Happy Stamping.
