¶ Einstein as Poet

Index Entry
In his daring concept of universal evolution as constant motion, as put forth and written into (unwitting) poetry by Einstein, we have then the greatest conception- ing and greatest communication by a human being to other human beings not only in the 20th Century but possibly in any other of the centuries. Therefore I see that Einstein is certainly the great artist of the 20th Century. Einstein becomes the prototype scientist-artist of not only the 20th Century but of the now looming 21st Century. The fact that Einstein did not profess being an artist does not mean that he was not one. The term artist is not really professable: It is a term which society alone can bestow and then only retrospectively.
