“Grumble and swear and curse,
brother, god and the boat,
and the great waves,

what strange terror lurks in the sea-depth,
you’d thank the gods for the ship.”

Sought through nature to find this tree.
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the human brain.”
—William Blake (1757–1827)

“When science drove the gods out of nature, they took refuge in poetry and the porticos of civic buildings.”
