Genius is mainly an affair of energy,and poetry is mainly an affair of genius;
therefore a nation whose spirit is characterized by energy may well be great in poetry;--and we have Shakespear.
Again,the highest reach of science is,one may say,an intentive power,a faculty of divination,similar to the highest power exercised in poetry.Therefore a nation whose spirit is characterized by energy may well be great in science;--and we have Newton.
