Sic transit gloria

Posted in Poetry. on Thursday, April 22nd, 2010 by Jenny Aspelund

Rainbow

Do not all charms fly
At the mere touch of cold philosophy?
There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:
We know her woof, her texture; she is given
In the dull catalogue of common things.
Philosophy will clip an Angel’s wings,
Conquer all mysteries by rule and line,
Empty the haunted air, and gnomed mine –
Unweave a rainbow

[John Keats, Lamia 1820]

It is said that the Newton’s deconstruction of the rainbow inspired Keats to write this poem. This short poem capture the absolute essence of the human ambiguity towards science. Too much knowledge is a threatening concept. But matter is only dead when scratching a little on the surface, underneath a Universe more unbelievable and magic than ever before shortly appears. But the human mind is constructed in such a way that we can only see a slice of the truth at a time, never the whole picture at once. We will never be able conquer all the mysteries.

As a matter of fact everything is possible in the Universe, it’s only a question of time. Every fantasy, no matter how intricate the thought might be, that a human being can ever create is possible in the Universe. But while it takes the human one minute to come up with the thought it might take the universe four billion years to make it happen. Time is only important for us short lived beings. Miracles happen all the time around us. If there is light there will be eyes that can experience it. If there is sound there will be some kind of hearing equipment. The rainbow is still the heavenly flower garden it has always been, even though we know the texture of her appearance.
