Powell's quotation is written beneath the ink title Maxims of life of the great scientists of the whole world in the hand of a researcher at the head of the page, the physicist stating, in full, 'No man is an island, entire of himself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the maine'. Immediately beneath Powell's quotation appears an A.Q.S., Eric K Rideal by Eric Rideal (1890-1974) English physical chemist. Rideal writes, in full, 'The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and a good understanding have all those that are true of heart'. Dated 21st May 1948 in his hand. About VG

Powell's quotation is a famous line taken from John Donne's prose work Devotions upon Emergent Occasions (1624) and Rideal's biblical quotation derives from Psalms 111:10.
