To Understand Its Perceptibility

Where the world ceases to be 

the stage for personal hopes and desires, 

where we, as free beings, 

behold it in wonder, 

to question 

and 
to contemplate, 

there we enter the realm

of art and science. 

If we trace out what we behold 

and experience 

through the language of logic, 

we are doing science; 

if we show it in forms

whose interrelationships are

not accessible

to our conscious thought

but are intuitively recognized

as meaningful, 

we are doing art. 

Common to both is the devotion to

something beyond the personal, 

removed from the arbitrary.

~ Albert Einstein
