I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong.
A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
One problem we face comes from the lack of any agreed sense of how we should be working to train ourselves to write poetry.
The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it.
Strictly speaking, the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
So the best way to understand poetry, which is made by men, is to imitate, and that goes back to making work as a kind of doorway into new work, as opposed to making work as a mirror of the old work.
Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
One can't write for all readers. A poet cannot write for people who don't like poetry.
Poetry is man's rebellion against being what he is.
Poets, in their way, are practical men; they are interested in results.
