On poetic interpretation of nature
John Campbell Shairp
239 pages~4 hr 46 min read35 chapters$4.99
Does science kill the poetry in a sunset, or deepen it? John Campbell Shairp weighs the poet's wonder against the scientist's, asking how far knowledge changes the feeling nature stirs in us. A thoughtful Victorian meditation on beauty and fact. Consider whether the measured world can still move the heart.
