He talketh away of stresses and strains and of no end of thermodynamics; He showeth always a serious aspect and seemeth not to know how to smile; And he picketh his seat in the car by the number of springs therein And not by damsel thereon, and neither does He know a waterfall except for its horsepower, Nor a sunset except for its specific heat. Always he carrieth books with him, and he entertaineth his maiden with steam tables. Verily, though the damsel expecteth chocolates when he calleth, He opens the package to reveal samples of a new alloy. Yea, he holdeth a damsel's hand only to measure the friction And he kisseth only to test the viscosity. For in his eye shineth a far away look Which is neither love nor longing, but a vain attempt to remember an equation. Even as a boy he pulleth a girl's hair, but only to test its elasticity And as a man he discovereth different devices for he would hold a maiden to his bosom Only to count the palpitations of her heart and to reckon the strength of her material. Alas! his marriage is a simultaneous equation Involving two unknowns and yielding a periodic function. Myth: Phoenix never dies. Fact: Phoenix does die, but only to reborn from his ashes. p(finix)=p(phoenix) when p is a pronunciation function. p.s. 물론 이 시는 제가 쓴 게 아닙니다. |
