43.8ii [634.17-20] ... and there he was, undeniably at the canalside in
Dublin sixty years ago as Hamilton received the Quaternions from an
extrapersonal force nearly embodied in this very light, the Brougham Bridge

Cf. earlier: "... here was Hilbert, beyond a doubt ..." (633).

Quaternions (or, as a disciple might say, theirs of him) ..." (560).
