Worlds

Worlds by Richard Wilbur

Here, Wilbur examines how knowledge, and a view of the world can change over time. Things previously thought in the past, such as the thought that Asia ended at India, now seem narrow-minded and ignorant. As time progress, we will continue to think similar things, and surely in the future we will back on now and question why we viewed the world as we did. Everything is obvious once it's discovered. However, his insertion of religion into Einstein's views of science makes for an interesting paradox, though I cannot tell if he is supporting religion or being sarcastic about it.
