... group, William Watson, Thomas Hardy, A.E. Housman and Robert Bridges. Page 413 I did not deal with all these poets because it was not in the scope of my idea to review the whole literature, but to follow only the main lines. But the main difficulty was that at the time I had no books and could only write from memory. I have read nothing of Housman—what I had read of Watson or Hardy did not... technique and artifice or through a straining towards the merely out-of-the-way or the perverse. But there seems to be no other door of progress than to make the endeavour. 10 October 1932 Housman, Watson, Hardy, Bridges I hear from Nolini that you want two books (reviewed in the New Statesman) representing the achievement of the seventeenth-century "Metaphysicals", in order to add some thing about... + y + z + p² etc. Before that there were Hopkins and Flecker and others and before that Meredith and Hardy and Francis Thompson.

... Page 10 rism was first systematically stated by J.B. Watson in a paper entitled "Psychology as a Behaviorist Views It" published in 1913. Watson stated that the proper subject-matter of psychology is objectively observable behaviour which must be explained as a response to internal and external stimuli. Psychology, said Watson, must become "a purely objective experimental branch of natural ...
... the genes and their concerted action in the gene pools, for reasons never explained. Around 1950 biochemical research in nuclear acids was still looked down upon as of little importance. This made Watson and Crick’s discovery of the double helix all the more sensational. “For those not studying biology at the time in the early 1950s,” said Edward Wilson, “it is hard to imagine the impact the discovery... how the world works.” 3 Heredity, and consequently evolution, were no longer a matter of fictitious biophores or the calculation of probabilities, but a concrete material structure and mechanism. “Watson and Crick’s achievement stands unrivalled in the annals of twentieth-century biology,” asserts Evelyn Fox Keller. 4 As a result, biochemistry took on a sudden surge. Between 1953 and 1963 were ... everything.” “All is written in the DNA, all is contained in the DNA,” says the introductory article. “This is the refrain that has been song to us since the structure of this molecule was decoded by James Watson and Francis Crick. … Popularized to excess by the scientists, industrialists and media, the gene, yesterday a certainty, today does not mean much any more. … Focusing excessively on the DNA has quite ...
... eschew vague ornamentation and rhetoric is no doubt a true instinct, and the modern recoil from the heavy exuberance in some of the early work of Laurence Binyon or the inflated emptiness of William Watson in particular moods makes for a healthy tension and pithiness; yet it is purblind folly and a deafness of ear to run down as too elaborate the lyric exquisiteness of colourful phrase Binyon could... could display — And sweet the rose floats on the arching briar's Green fountain sprayed with delicate frail fires — or the epic grandeur of a packed sonnet-close like this from Watson — And over me The everlasting taciturnity, The august, inhospitable, inhuman night Glittering magnificently unperturbed.

... DNA just is. And we dance to its music.” Francis Crick is quoted above; here follows an opinion from his co-discoverer of the structure of DNA, James Watson. The journalist of the French magazine Courrier International first writes: “He [James Watson] has proposed to modify the genetic code not of one single individual but of the future generations.” Then he quotes Watson’s words: “Some will have ...

... volume. But perhaps they may come under his general remark that this part of my work lacks the glow and concentration of true inspired poetry and his further judgment classing it with the works of Watson and Stephen Phillips and other writers belonging to the decline of romantic poetry. I know nothing about Watson's work except for one or two short pieces met by chance; if I were to judge from them ...
... and lavish wonders. Francis Thompson's In No Strange Land may be rated economical but can anybody apply the same epithet to his Hound of Heaven? I don't know whether you have dipped into William Watson, a wrongly neglected poet according to me. He can bring a memorable economy wedded to a striking vision of la condition humaine: Magnificent out of the dust we came And abject from the spheres ...

That is a high-water mark of power and bears a sem ...
... earn a surrender of all-transmuting bliss. Suffering is a sacred privilege to him: he is pushed by it not to blaspheme or even doubt, but nearer and nearer the goal he seeks. Though, like William Watson in the "Crow"-stanza, he can be puzzled by the spectre of discord haunting the world-ditty, he utilises the invasion of his being by it to raise to yet intenser a pitch his aspiration towards the ideal ...
... because everything has its uniqueness as well as its resemblances to other things, but in a successful figurative phrase the poet packs his vision of the same essence in two different objects. William Watson, interpreting a sea-scape - And I beheld the waters in their might Writhe as a serpent by some great spell curbed And foiled - or Shakespeare expressing how the mast-climbing shipboy's ...

Origin and a century and a half after Darwin’s birth, DNA was identified as the hereditary material in the cells by Oswald Avery (in 1947), and the structure of the DNA molecule was unravelled by James Watson and Francis Crick (in 1953). “The late 1950s saw a celebration of Darwinism. With scientists all but agreed on how evolution operated, its study had gained standing in science.” The scientists named ...
... perception, nothing we can verify by experimental observation. If we regard space-time as a reality, how are we to act Sherlock Holmes to their missing perceptual equivalents? Perfectly easy, my dear Watson! We have only to fall into the arms of Eddington and agree with him to regard the "lumber" equations as the mathematical symbols of unperceived properties of some- thing objective. To Eddington, even ...

Thus Watson claimed that learners can be trained to become whatever you design them to become. According to this view, everything can be taught; all virtues and values can be taught and cultivated by suitable ...

... it not be capable also of poetic creation? The possibility has been discussed in a very lively and interesting manner in The Hibbert Journal (October, '49 and january, '50). The writer Sir Robert Watson-Watt thinks it is not impossible, indeed quite possible, for a machine to write, for example, a sonnet. Only the question will be with regard to the kind-the quality and standard--of the poetic creation ...

... shows a touch of the minutely marking as well as luxurious painter eye of the young Tennyson, and not infrequently the phrasing bears an aspect of traditional poeticism from Spenser down to William Watson, which especially the rebellious modernist ear may dub wearying. In a semi-modernist manner we get at a few moments an affinity to Gerard Manley Hopkins. But if we look deeper and hear more intently ...

But there is a third that is coming more and more to the front—the sole Indian poet whom, as Francis Watson reported in a radio talk from England in 1951, Yeats had singled out as writing creatively in English. And this name is likely to be found, in a final assessment, to be in a class apart. Not that ...
... speech is not exclusively monosyllabic, it is dissyllabic too and can even produce polysyllables; but it does so mostly by combining a couple of words, either monosyllabic or dissyllabic. Thus in the Watson line already quoted, The everlasting taciturnity, "everlasting" is an Anglo-Saxon derivative while "taciturnity" is a Latin one. The former falls only one syllable short of the latter — it ...

... Romanticism above all with "the grotesque". Christianity, with its sense of Sin, is said to have brought melancholy into the world by making man realise the paradox of his imperfect nature: as William Watson puts it - Magnificent out of the dust we came, And abject from the spheres. With the melancholy sense of that paradox grew up the sense of the grotesque and hence the habit of mingling ...

According to him psychology is really concerned ...

We can, however, go off in search of Sri Aurobindo’s mystery and gather a few clues in the manner of Arthur Conan Doyle's "dear Watson.” When we come to Mother, it will no longer be Arthur Conan Doyle, but an enterprise akin to deciphering hieroglyphics, mapping a forest, with biology and a dash of Rudyard Kipling and Wells in it ...
