Late Morning Science Poem

...Why are you so insistent on the sweeping

Poetry of sky and sea? Are you, then, fonder
Of the circumference of earth's impounding

In..                         wish for revelation,
Sought out the unknown new in your surrounding?

- Wallace Stevens, from "For an Old Woman in a Wig"
