Scientific poetry: The number one, by Fernando Celada

Fernando Celada was a Mexican poet who was born in Xochimilco at the end of the 19th century. His most known poem is "The fall of the leaves". I read this poem for the first time in a book in Spanish entitled "The 1000 best poems in the world literature" that a friend from high school lent me. In recent years, I have searched for the book but have not been able to find it. The book, as I remember, had an excellent selection of poems such as "The seminarian with the black eyes" by Miguel Ramos Carrión, which was the first poem of that book that caught my attention and I loved it.

A few years later, however, I had the opportunity to meet the poet's grandson, the engineer Manuel Celada, who worked with my father in the disappeared National Railways of Mexico. 

Fernando Celada was also a social fighter and his poetry gave words to the workers class. At present, his poems are little known including the next one with a deep arithmetic reflection (the original version in Spanish is bellow):

Scientific poetry: The old astronomer to his pupil, by Sarah Williams

As far as I can remember I love poetry but since I studied physics, I have been very interested in the science and poetry combination. Is this concept possible? Well, yes. The great advances of science during the XIX century till today, have been accompanied by the development of a new kind of poetry: the scientific poetry whose rooths belong to the Roman time.

The following quote is often attributed to Galileo in social nets:

I have loved the stars too truly to be fearful of the night.

However it seems to belong not to the Italian physicist but to the poem The old astronomer to his pupil, written in 1868 by the English poet and novelist Sarah Williams.
