Translation can never do more than the approximate,so we shall, at least, be gloriously inaccurate.
Perfect specimens for an exacting science...
All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.

Sometimes, surely, truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence, to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right.
