Science is stubborn,
Trying the door of Magic.
Keyrings are jingling.

You meant to puzzle me! You succeeded! Science and Magic are in some ways mirror images. In others ways they are are opposites but opposites attract each other, and mirror images alter and distort but don't destroy each other. The world is vast enough and people numerous enough for us to need both science and magic. I, for example, need science for my actual life and magic for my imaginative life.
Thank you, Daniel! How funny! I need the same but on the contrary: science for dreams and magic for reality)

I agree with your response to Daniel Brick. Science has added tremendously to the repertoire of our dreams. It has put us in touch with the workings of Mother Nature. Shelley in his ODE TO A SKYLARK wrote HailBLITHE SPIRIT, BIRD THOU NEVER WERE. Ted Hughes in his SKYLARKS is even more visionary. Drawing on clues from science it sympathetically enters into that creature's morning-long vertical migration.
