I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of physics and write poetry at the same time. they are in opposition. in science you want to say something that nobody knew before, in words which everyone can understand. in poetry you are bound to say ... something that everyone knows already in words that nobody can understand. commenting to him about the poetry j. robert oppenheimer wrote.

Writing Men Poetry

More From Paul Dirac

Men are four; he who knows and knows not that he knows. he is asleep; wake him. he who knows not and knows not that he knows not. he is a fool; shun him. he who knows not and knows that he knows not. he is a child; teach him. he who knows and knows that he knows. he is a king; follow him. the heights by great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.
Kings Children Night
There are four types of men in this world: 1. the man who knows, and knows that he knows; he is wise, so consult him. 2. the man who knows, but doesn't know that he knows; help him not forget what he knows. 3. the man who knows not, and knows that he knows not; teach him. 4. finally, there is the man who knows not but pretends that he knows; he is a fool, so avoid him.

But most love poetry is awful; nobody knows how to write good love poetry either. but that's not a reason not to write love poetry. some of the best poetry ever written has been love poetry, and some of the greatest poetry ever written has been political poetry.
