Keats complained that Newton's experiments with prisms had destroyed all the poetry of the rainbow.

Not so, says Oxford biologist Dawkins (The Selfish Gene) who, in an eloquent if prickly defense of the scientific enterprise, calls on the "two cultures" of science and poetry to learn from each other.
