    Science is the knowledge of many, orderly and methodically
    digested and arranged, so as to become attainable by one. The
    knowledge of reasons and their conclusions constitutes abstract, that of causes and their effects, and of the laws of nature, natural science.
    —John Frederick William Herschel (1792–1871)

    ‘Ye have robbed,’ said he, ‘ye have slaughtered and made an end,
    Take your ill-got plunder, and bury the dead:
    What will ye more of your guest and sometime friend?’
    ‘Blood for our blood,’ they said.
    Sir Henry Newbolt (1862–1938)
