RELATIVITY by D.H. Lawrence

I like relativity and quantum theories
because I don't understand them
and they make me feel as if space shifted about like a swan that
can't settle,
refusing to sit still and be measured;
and as if the atom were an impulsive thing
always changing its mind.

(from Pansies: Poems, 1929)

I forgot to mention DH Lawrence when I spoke of my favorite poets.
