Who is the founder of science and the arts,
the philosopher seeking why things exist,
who explains the order of the universe;
discovers the laws of Nature,
so huge and diverse?
The pioneer is a child - the scientist, artist,
philosopher, from the dawn of awareness,
to years ahead ever searching
the deeper sense of meaning
of her drawing.
