The end of human endeavour is happiness and contentment. The advancement of science has not been able to bring them about. On the other hand, it has made our lives complex and crooked. We can see with alarm the unending war which science is waging against literature and art. The realm of poetry is being conquered day by day. The soothing charms of Nature fly at the cold touch of science. What a solace was there in thinking of the silently shining stars, the blessed candles of the night! What comfort is now left to the average man to know that the stars are but so many burning suns and the rainbow of Wordsworth, at the sight of which his heart leapt up with joy, a prism of colours! The cheer and the charm are gone and the dull fact remains.

‘Science’, observes G. B. Shaw, ‘never solves a problem without creating ten more.’ But are and literature and themselves the solution to all our problems. All our worries leave us amid the Sounding cataracts of Wordsworth, the Skylark of Shelley and the Nightingale of Keats.
