  • cur | prev 1869 J. van Radewijn (talk | contribs) . . (1,220 bytes) (+50) . . (→ still cited this to a correspondent twenty-two years drowned; the light, he reports, is no better behaved)
  • cur | prev 1847 the Society (talk | contribs) . . (1,170 bytes) (−60) . . (→ Decline: lost its one committed proponent to the fjord; membership down from three to one and a half)
  • cur | prev 12:00, 4 March 1847 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (1,230 bytes) (+30) m . . (→ the far wall declines to be approached. nearer than that, surely)
  • cur | prev 1845 J. van Radewijn (talk | contribs) . . (1,200 bytes) (−40) . . (→ talk: your geometry is sound and your light a malcontent; the bend is real, the sulking is yours)
  • cur | prev 1843 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (1,240 bytes) (+160) . . (→ Relationship to real optics: I do not deny Snell. I merely note that Snell never asked the light how it felt)
  • cur | prev 1842 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (1,080 bytes) (+240) . . (→ Tenets: the air is not neutral but disposed; distant things sit four metres to the left out of reluctance, not error)
  • cur | prev 1841 the Society (talk | contribs) . . (840 bytes) (+120) . . (→ Adopted as the Society's founding doctrine; carried unanimously, the membership being chiefly the author)
  • cur | prev 1839 H. Unlonn (talk | contribs) . . (720 bytes) (+720) . . (created; the light does not always arrive where it is sent. it is not lost — it declines)
