“His books were sent to me, and I have read them. It is very curious, and, I will add, very English. But I do not see the possibility of comparison between his work and mine. We do not proceed in the same manner. It occurs to me that his stories do not repose on very scientific bases. No, there is no rapport between his work an mine. I make use of physics. He invents. I go to the moon in a cannon-ball, discharged from a cannon. There is no invention. He goes to Mars in an airship, which he constructs of a metal which does away with the law of gravitation. Ça c’est très joli,”, cried Monsieur Verne in an animated way, “but show me this metal. Let him produce it.”
Just you wait until next year. Norm knows what I mean, but I am hoping that he will keep stumn (as we say here in the UK)
