Best scientists lack the comfort of peers
Their science is always at first incredible,
Event though later it teaches more. . . .
Why do they struggle so?
Because in each discovery of new knowledge
Lies an awareness of the beauty and worth of human life,
Which enslaves them as guardians of human destiny.
