II (Twenty years later): The Novelty is absolute Truth
and will yield a full and satisfactory

III (Forty years later): The Novelty won't explain
things in general after all, and therefore is a wretched failure.
The propounder a very ordinary person advertised by a clique.

The propounder worthy of all honor
in spite of his share of human frailties,
as one who has added to the permanent possessions of science.
