Bioquímica (s)em rede

Haverá melhor maneira de dar início ao novo ano (e antes das dúvidas inundarem o blogue) do que um começo poético?

Constantly, I seek a poetry of facts,
Even as
The profound kinship of all living substance
Is made clear by the chemical route.
Without some chemistry one is bound to remain
Forever a dumbfounded savage
In the face of vital reactions.
The beautiful relations
Shown only by biochemistry
Replace a stupefied sense of wonder
With something more wonderful
Because natural and understandable.

Hugh MacDiarmid
