LECTURE
I
HOW
TO
ENTER
IT;
HOW
TO
USE
IT;
AND
HOW
TO
ENJOY
IT
I
HAVE
promised
to
introduce
you
today
to
the
fairy-land
of
science
-
a
somewhat
bold
promise,
seeing
that
most
of
you
probably
look
upon
science
as
a
bundle
of
dry
facts,
while
fairy-
land
is
all
that
is
beautiful,
and
full
of
poetry
and
imagination.
But
I
thoroughly
believe
myself,
and
hope
to
prove
to
you,
that
science
is
full
of
beautiful
pictures,
of
real
poetry,
and
of
wonder-working
fairies;
and
what
is
more,
I
promise
you
they
shall
be
true
fairies,
whom
you
will
love
just
as
much
when
you
are
old
and
greyheaded
as
when
you
are
young;
for
you
will
be
able
to
call
them
up
wherever
you
wander
by
land
or
by
sea,
through
meadow
or
through
wood,
through
water
or
through
air;
and
though
they
themselves
will
always
remain
invisible,
yet
you
will
see
their
wonderful
poet
at
work
everywhere
around
you.
Let
us
first
see
for
a
moment
what
kind
of
tales
science
has
to
tell,
and
how
far
they
are
equal
to
the
old
fairy
tales
we
all
know
so
well.
Who
does
not
remember
the
tale
of
the
"Sleeping
Beauty
in
the
Wood,"
and
how
under
the
spell
of
the
angry
fairy
the
maiden
pricked
herself
with
the
spindle
and
slept
a
hundred
years?
How
the
horses
in
the
stall,
the
dogs
in
the
court-yard,
the
doves
on
the
roof,
the
cook
who
was
boxing
the
scullery
boy's
ears
in
the
kitchen,
and
the
king
and
queen
with
all
their
courtiers
in
the
hall
remained
spell-bound,
while
a
thick
hedge
grew
up
all
round
the
castle
and
all
within
was
still
as
death.
But
when
the
hundred
years
had
passed
the
valiant
prince
came,
the
thorny
hedge
opened
before
him
bearing
beautiful
flowers;
and
he,
entering
the
castle,
reached
the
room
where
the
princess
lay,
and
with
one
sweet
kiss
raised
her
and
all
around
her
to
life
again.
