    The bearded man and the lad in his teens,
    Carpenters, coal-passers—all.”

    Shall list and founder in the troughs of grass
    And none shall speak his name.”

    “But don’t despise error. When touched by genius, when led by chance, the most superior truth can come into being from even the most foolish error. The important inventions which have been brought about in every realm of science from false hypotheses number in the hundreds, indeed in the thousands.”
