To Verulam’s Novum Organum alone,

Never can build it. Quarriers of the truth,

They cut the stones, but cannot truly lay them;

For only he whose deep remembering mind

Holds the white archetype, can to music build

His towers, from the pure pattern imprinted there.

He, and he only, in one timeless flash

Through all this moving universe discerns

The inexorable sequences of law,

And, in the self-same flash, transfiguring all,
