Scientific romance

Re "And yet it works" (22 July). (Declaration of interest: I fell in love with science aged 5 and never looked back ...)

I caress your hypothesis

And gently adjust your little factors.

How excellent your axioms,

How open, free and wild your system:

Who can truly model your beauty,

Who can hide what you explore?

My love, my love, let us experiment

To boldly go, never to

Relent.
