Quantum Effects
At any time we cannot know our place
If we are running quickly round apace
Or if we know we find we are unmoved
This is the Uncertainty Principle.
The light is blinding and the grace profound
And if we listen hard we hear the sound
Of angel voices circling all around
A frequency so high that we are moved
This is the Photoelectric Effect.
We see what is to us our hearts' desire
The source and object of an inner fire
And yet we do not know, and to enquire
Invokes the risk that it might be removed
This is the Copenhagen Tyranny.
