Why make so much of fragmentary blue
In here and there; a bird, or butterfly,
Or flower, or wearing-stone, or open eye,
When heaven presents in sheets the solid hue?
Since earth is earth, perhaps, not heaven (as yet)—
Though some savants make earth include the sky;
And blue so far above us comes so high,
It only gives our wish for blue a whet.

Medicine—to the extent that it can be called a science—is a sensual science, one in which we collect data about a patient through touch and the other senses according to a systematic method in order to make a diagnosis.

In medical school, starting with anatomy class, doctors are taught to understand the body by taking it apart, one piece at a time. What you walk away with, at the minimum, is an uncanny ability to objectify the hell out of even the most intimate body parts. For anyone else, this might be considered disrespectful, but for doctors, a clinical and objective view of, say, a female breast offers us the chance to see it isolated from its other, often sexual, contexts. We are taught to handle a breast as a separate object.

During the second half of the 20th century, the central focus of biology was on the gene. Now in the first half of the 21st century, the central focus of biology has shifted to neural science and specifically to the biology of the mind. We need to understand the processes by which we perceive, act, learn, and remember. How does the brain—an organ weighing only three pounds—conceive of the infinite, discover new knowledge, and produce the remarkable individuality of human thoughts, feelings, and actions?
