Electrons Escape

Famous quotes containing the words electrons and/or escape:

    Such is the art of writing as Dreiser understands it and practices it—an endless piling up of minutiae, an almost ferocious tracking down of ions, electrons and molecules, an unshakable determination to tell it all. One is amazed by the mole-like diligence of the man, and no less by his exasperating disregard for the ease of his readers.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)

    What does this mean? The individual,
    Nature, mutation, strife?
    I fell, though I am simple, still the whole
    Is complex; and that life,
    A huge, doomed throbbing—has a wiry soul
    That must escape the knife.
    Roy Fuller (b. 1912)
