    Like to the tree of Tantalus she fled,
    And seeming lavish, sav’de her maydenhead.

    Than Hero this inestimable gemme.

    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)
