André-Marie Ampère 1775–1836

electrically rowed Rousseau from a wide green meadow into his brain along with Buffon and Diderot and the entire Enlightenment embroidered in fractions, thus confusing poetry and mathematics. He stood back and declared: An umbrella could envelope a good part of the village of Poleymieux en route to reviving the library and why did my wife die so young? Wrote out the psalms on his palm in the electrodynamic molecules of his time which he carried next to his heart in a heart-shaped box obsessed by Ørsted’s magnetized needle, leaping full-grown and fully armed into the periodic table. Noble metals isolated and at war put each order in order and was the first to define electric current as a circulation gazing out over the Mediterranean until it dies.
