There is poetry in science.

@Irene Hackett wrote about @Ali Anani that she is coming to see him “more and more as the premier Poet of Science!”

In his Buzz, Noisy falling, but no listeners, Dr. Ali continued to prove this title. As many times before, Dr. Ali’s work and ideas have inspired me to learn, think and write. As I have been (laboring) writing a current Buzz, I came across this quote by Simone de Beauvoir which I would like to share, “Out of the Comment Box”.

“I should like to be the landscape which I am contemplating, I should like this sky, this quiet water to think themselves within me, that it might be I whom they express in flesh and bone, and I remain at a distance. But it is also by this distance that the sky and the water exist before me. My contemplation is an excruciation only because it is also a joy. I can not appropriate the snow field where I slide. It remains foreign, forbidden, but I take delight in this very effort toward an impossible possession. I experience it as a triumph, not as a defeat.”
