Explore "Novum Organum" by Ambrose Bierce on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
In Bacon see the culminating prime / Of Anglo-Saxon intellect and crime.
He dies and Nature, settling his affairs, / Parts his endowments among us, his heirs: / To every one a pinch of brain for seed, / And, to develop it, a pinch of greed.
Each thrifty heir, to make the gift suffice, / Buries the talent to manure the vice.
