Me seems the world is run quite out of square,From the first point of his appointed source,And being once amiss grows daily worse and worse.

Edmund Spenser

Through knowledge we behold the world’s creation, How in his cradle first he fostered was; And judge of Nature’s cunning operation, How things she formed of a formless mass.
