Novum Organum

________________________________________________
Title:     Novum Organum
Author: Ambrose Bierce [More Titles by Bierce]

In Bacon see the culminating prime
Of Anglo-Saxon intellect and crime.
He dies and Nature, settling his affairs,
Parts his endowments among us, his heirs:
To every one a pinch of brain for seed,
And, to develop it, a pinch of greed.
Each thrifty heir, to make the gift suffice,
Buries the talent to manure the vice.

[The end]
Ambrose Bierce's poem: Novum Organum
