Summary
Finally, four vignettes of the future. Some basic questions whose true understanding awaits new ideas and new observations. They follow in order of their solution's remoteness.
Nature that framed us of four elements,
Warring within our breasts for regiment,
Doth teach us all to have aspiring minds:
Our souls whose faculties can comprehend
The wondrous architecture of the world,
And measure every wandering planet's course,
Still climbing after knowledge infinite,
And always moving as the restless spheres,
Will us to wear ourselves and never rest
