The 10 Days of Newton![](http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2008/12/23/opinion/isaacnewton.190.jpg)
By OLIVIA JUDSON
On the tenth day of Newton,
My true love gave to me,
Ten drops of genius,
Nine sil ver co-oins,
Eight circling planets,
Seven shades of li-ight,
Six counterfeiters,
Cal-Cu-Lus!
Four telescopes,
Three Laws of Motion,
Two awful feuds,
And the discovery of gravity!
