520 1 $a"Literature and science have always been strange bedfellows. They ground one another. They dream together. Like puzzle pieces, they fit because they are different. Science finds eloquence in literature. Literature, heeding science, quakes and marvels. Some of the greatest works of world literature embody scientific ideas. Similarly, scientists have written works of the imagination. Even scientific writings have been known to employ rhetoric.".
