James Clerk Maxwell (Quote)

Through the creatures Thou hast made Show the brightness of Thy glory. Be eternal truth displayed In their substance transitory. Till green earth and ocean hoary, Massy rock and tender blade, Tell the same unending story: We are truth in form arrayed. Teach me thus Thy works to read, That my faith,– new strength accruing– May from world to world proceed, Wisdom’s fruitful search pursuing Till, thy truth my mind imbuing, I proclaim the eternal Creed – Oft the glorious theme renewing, God our Lord is God indeed.

James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), Scottish physicist, widely considered by twentieth and twenty-first century physicists to have been one of the most significant figures of the nineteenth century. His work fundamentally changed conceptions of electromagnetism and introduced the basis of field theory. He is also known for his work on thermodynamics and the kinetic theory of gases.
