TO A YOUNG SCIENTIST

Your wings are yet untried.
Perhaps you will be the one
To feel Serendipity's kiss
And show to us
What was so obvious
In the beginning.

But which history's Greats
All sought
In vain.

Or perhaps
The awesome raw power
Of your intellect
Will batter aside
Our false theorems
To reveal gleaming promise
Of things to come.

We care not which way it comes.
By chance or brilliance.
We care only that it comes,
So try on,
Youngster,
Try on.
