Classic Poem

The strongest laws on earth are those of chance.
Stronger than those of God, Nature, or of Man.
This statement may seem startling at first glance,
Perchance less so as one doth this thesis scan.
" The laws of God " are broken every day,
That settles them so far's this world's concern'd.
" The laws of Man " are treated the same way.
" The laws of Chance " sole have never yet been spurn'd.
" The laws of Nature " cannot make that claim,
Tho' once they could now that they cannot say
On Chance once more for that doth rest the blame —
To Science-baffling X-ray Chance showed the way!
Of Nature Chance thus broke one o' th' oldest laws.
If one, why not more? The thought gives thinkers pause.
