Sweet is the lore which nature brings;

Our meddling intellect

Mishapes the beauteous forms of things;

--We murder to dissect.

Enough of science and of art;

Close up these barren leaves;

Come forth, and bring with you a heart

That watches and receives.

             William Wordsworth, from The Tables Turned: An Evening
Scene, on the same subject.
