And Besides, the Wench is Dead

Description

What we observe as material bodies and forces are nothing but shapes and variations in the structure of space. Particles are just schaumkommen (appearances). The world is given to me only once, not one existing and one perceived. Subject and object are only one. The barrier between them cannot be said to have broken down as a result of recent experience in the physical sciences, for this barrier does not exist.
(Erwin Schrodinger, on Quantum Theory)

Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh;
The worlds revolve like ancient women
Gathering fuel in vacant lots.
(T.S. Elliot - Prufrock and Other Observations)

Was the description all about juxtaposition?

What we observe as [structures] are nothing but [structures].... Well said.

He then goes on to say something about barriers not existing, barriers *do* exist, a barrier is a concept or a description and with our limited perception we can call what we like a barrier and never be any less correct than someone who chooses to do otherwise.

To conclude, science talks out of it's own bum as much as deviantart poets, but T.S.Elliot is the man!
