Poetry:

"If you say it is poetry that is because engineering is poetry. Take out for yourself some engineering and science textbooks and break the words up into phrases in similar manner and prove it for yourself. Then try some non-engineering prose and it probably won't work. I would not be surprised if some day it were proven a law that the better the science the better the poetry."
