How does the ‘assortment of remarks’ compiled by the author give us an understanding of the ways of science and poetry?
Advertisements
उत्तर
The assortment of remarks compiled by the author helps in providing an answer to the question ‘Why is there a difference in the patterns of creativity among the practitioners in the arts and the practitioners in the sciences?’ It shows how different poets view science and how they use their work to condemn or appreciate the work of the scientists. It even provides a glimpse of how scientists appreciate those poets who acknowledge the importance of science. The remarks also include a narrative of Charles Darwin, a scientist, who was also highly interested in literature during his young years, and of Faraday who introduced some remarkable inventions. An extract from Shelly’s A Defense of Poetry, talks highly about the work of the poets and the importance that poetry holds.
