Darwin was surveying strata in Wales on his own when he received a message that his intended companion had died, dashing his plans to visit Madeira, but on his return home he received another letter.
Darwin's life work provoked continuing discussions in the scientific community, and established more than anything else that "evolution" itself had occurred: not necessarily that it was by natural or sexual selection (this particular recognition would not become fully standard until the rediscovery of Gregor Mendel's work in the early 20th century).
Darwin's theory of evolution was a significant blow to creationism and notions of intelligent design prevalent among 19th century Europe.

 Twentieth Century Literature: Natural history and epiphany: Elizabeth Bishop's Darwin Letter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
In her next letter to Stevenson, Bishop writes of finding a reference to Darwin in William Carlos Williams's "Asphodel, that greeny flower," a reference that is "not in [her] sense, at all" (Letter 23 Mar. 1964), and it is crucial to distinguish Bishop's Darwin from Williams's.
Darwin and his colleagues have little in common with the lab-coated figures that Eliot's imagery summons up, and one must leave behind certain ideas about the disinterestedness and impersonality of science and its emphasis on precision and specialization in order to understand what exactly Bishop is invoking when she chooses Darwin as her artistic model.
Darwin, rather than specializing, published on a wide array of subjects, including among other things coral reefs, mould, barnacles, worms, orchids, insectivorous plants, the expression of emotion, and, of course, species.

 Twentieth Century Literature: Natural history and epiphany: Elizabeth Bishop's Darwin Letter
Darwin, I will argue, is not the sort of scientist that Eliot or Pound has in mind nor the sort of scientist that we know today.
There is a tone of dismay, of repulsion from modernity in the Darwin letter: she complains of the "ghastly taste," "ugliness," and "bad manners" of other writers and claims that, of her own poems, most of the ones she "can still abide were written before [she] met Robert Lowell" in 1947.
Her choice of Darwin instead of a more contemporary scientific figure is revealing in that it allows her to sidestep a number of conventional twentieth-century ideas about science.
