The New Sinai
And as of old from Sinai's top
God said that God is one.
By Science strict so speaks he now
To tell us there is None.
Earth goes by chemic forces; Heaven's
A Mecanique Celeste.
And heart and mind of human kind
A watch-work as the rest.
Arthur Hugh Clough, The poems and prose remains of Arthur Hugh Clough, with a selection from his letters, ed. by his wife (1869)
Notes
The mechanical view of the cosmos.
