The Horrid Voice of Science
by David Ng
Some poetry to consider. Quite striking, although I personally tend to disagree.
The Horrid Voice of Science
by Vachel Lindsay
“There’s machinery in the
butterfly;
There’s a mainspring to the
bee;
There’s hydraulics to a daisy,
And contraptions to a tree.
“If we could see the birdie
That makes the chirping sound
With x-ray, scientific eyes,
We could see the wheels go
round.”
And I hope all men
Who think like this
Will soon lie
Underground.

I, too, disagree, David. I leave the rebuttal to Richard Feynman:
“Poets say science takes away from the beauty of the stars – mere globs of gas atoms. I, too, can see the stars on a desert night, and feel them. But do I see less or more?”
More, I say. More.

Peter, that is an AWESOME rebuttal.
