Curb Science?

SCIENCE, that gives man hope to live without lies Or blast himself off the earth :---curb science Until morality catches up? ---But look : morality At present running rapidly retrograde, You'd have to turn science too, back to the witch-doctors And myth-drunkards. Besides that morality Is not an end in itself : truth is an end. To seek the truth is better than good works, better than survival, Holier than innocence and higher than love.
