Michael Faraday: His Life and Work (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Michael Faraday: His Life and WorkOn A Portrait of Faraday.Was ever man so simple and so sage,So crowned and yet so careless of a prize!Great Faraday, who made the world so wise,And loved the labour better than the wage.And this you say is how he looked in age,With that strong brow and these great humble eyesThat seem to look with reverent surpriseOn all outside himself. Turn o'er the page,Recording Angel, it is white as snow.Ah God, a fitting messenger was heTo show Thy mysteries to us below.Child as he came has he returned to Thee.Would he could come but once again to showThe wonder-deep of his simplicity.Cosmo Monkhouse.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
