2 quotes

Science is a line, art a superficies, and life, or the knowledge of God, a solid.

The Rod, the Root, and the Flower (1895)

Give me the nobler glass that swells to the eye
The things which near us lie,
Till Science rapturously hails,
In the minutest water-drop,
A torment of innumerable tails.

Odes (1868)
