Science Quotes by Edward Hitchcock (1)
Why may we not add Geology to the list of poetical sciences? Why shall not that science, which is the second science in eras and magnitudes, and the first, in affording scope for the imagination, be brought into favor with the Muses and afford themes for the Poet?
— Edward Hitchcock
'The Poetry of Geology', The Indicator, 1849, 109.
