POETRY AVID SCIENCE.
Pcst Laureate Anstin says They ATc
hot Antagcnistic

=
IT is SO commonly assumed that
poetry and science are antagonistic
that an address delivered by the Poet
Laureate, Alfred Austin, at the open
ing of a new school of scence and art
last week, deserves a wide publicity.
Macaulay, with his well-known love
Of antithesis, once endeayored to show
that as civilization advances, poetry
almost necessarily declines; and tax
ing science as one Of the most i'm
portant factors in the civilizing
process, the inference is that poet
with knowledge OF scientific facts
labors under a disadvantage. Now,
however, we are able to give poet
laureate's opinion that science and
art are complementary to one another
and not rivals. Science, said Mr..
Austin, is exact knowledge-that and
nothing more. But exact knowledge
is the foundation Of all the arts, and
no man ever achieved real greatness
in any Of them who did not have the
frmest grasp Of the permanent facts
which undcrlie them. Music, the
most intangible and fantastic Of the
arts, cannot move one step nor excite
a single emotion without submitting
to the severe discipline of numbers.
Finally, the matter of a poets verseis
not of much account unless it be ami
mated by the scientific spirit Of close
and wide observation and Of loving ac-
curacy.
1t must be obvious to anyone who
has read the EfDivina Commedia" that
the greatest poet Of the middle ages,
than whom there was none greater
in any age, was thoroughly familiar
with all the science or exact knowl-
edge Of his time; and Leonardo do
Vinci, who might have equals but had
no superior in the realm Of painting,
was not more fascinated by artistic
conceptions than by what are called
scientific problems, and at these he
labored indefatigably. Alike, there
fore, by necessity and choice, art ex-
hibits a sympathetic kinship with
science. The scientific spirit, far
from being hostile to the artistic
spirit, is ancillary to it, for, as Dryden
said: Genius is perfected by sci
ence." The noblest manifestations of
both have always occurred in one and
and the same epoch. Athens pro-
duced Euclid as well as Praxiteles;
the vigorous old age of Michael An
gelo overlapped the precocious youth
Of Calico, and Bacon was the con-
temporary Of Shakespeare. And
though the century now drawing to a
close has been prominently a scien-
tific century, the locomotive and the
telephone will not be more enduring
than theverseof Byron and Tennyson
or than the pictures of Turner and
Watts. The reasoning intellect is the
foundation alike of science and OF art;
but, concluded Mr.. Austin, while rea-
son alone suffice 10 science, art is
reason TRANSPORTED by emotion
