Poetry and science are incompatible.

Poetry and science are not necessarily incompatible. Some poets like Keats and Wordsworth are of the view that science and technology, exploits and destroys the nature. Others like Shelly are appreciative of science and even write about it in their works. Charles Darwin, a great scientist, was himself fond of literature during his young years. On the other hand, scientists like Faraday are purely devoted to science and invention. Thus, it’s a matter of opinion and perspective that answers this question. While there are some who are appreciative of both poetry and science, there are also others who believe that poetry and science are incompatible.
