CRUSH

CRUSH

 

As if a wave breaking upon me:

Isaac Newton had never been to a sea!

The man who solved the mystery

Of the oceans ever ebb and flow

As related to the lunar gravity

He must have glimpsed the horizon  

On the shoulder of some Titan

Yet he sported the modest speech

That he, like a child at the beach

Amid millions of pebbles and shells

Had haply picked up some jewels

we mortals could never perform

What a shock a genius may storm

Pick up a speck on earth, and he wavers

The remotest stars in the universe

    its no wonder Voltaire, claimed
    that Newton 'was buried like a King'
    and considered him, the finest 'Mind' to have ever lived...
    a wonderful dedication, thank you for sharing
