Morri Creech, Field Knowledge (Waywiser, 2006). 76 pages.
from "Some Notes on Grace and Gravity"
3. Newton
A minor disappointment not to find
angels pushing the planets around their courses
as Leibnitz believed. A shame, but not a great one,
that the universe seemed less and less to hang
glimmering from God's chain like a gold fob,
although a pendant weight shaped Newton's thought.
(p. 27, ll. 1-6)
