A writer should have the precision of a poet and the imagination of a scientist.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The scientist and engineers who are building the future need the poets to make sense of it.
If I'm writing, I'll say something metaphorical or approximate, whereas scientists are very precise.
Strictly speaking, the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
One must be an inventor to read well. There is then creative reading as well as creative writing.
The process of being a writer is much more interior than being a scientist, because science is so reactionary.
Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
Science is for those who learn, poetry is for those who know.
The reader's challenge is to replicate the experiment by reading the poem and to draw their own conclusions.
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.
The man of science is nothing if not a poet gone wrong.
