An Essay on Man.

Read in a books' (Power Plant Technology by Elwakil) prolusion:

He, who through vast immensity can pierce,
See worlds on worlds compose one universe,
Observe how system into system runs,
What other planets circle other suns,
What varied being peoples every star
May tell why Heaven has made us as we are.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who sees with equal eye, as God of all,
A hero perish, or a sparrow fall,
Atoms or systems into ruin hurled,
And now a bubble burst, and now a world.

ALEXANDER POPE
(1688-1744)

Really subtle, Isn't it!
