Whoever wrote the verse on Shakespeare\u2019s tomb
\nMay prove prophetic far beyond his ken:
\nFor that which was an all-reversing womb
\nMight be in turn reversed by future men.
\nThen blest indeed the man who\u2019d spare the stones
\nFrom hell-bent cloners bound to seek a way,
\nDespite the curse, to move what once were bones
\nAnd resurrect from dust Will\u2019s DNA.
\nThe irony, of course, would not be missed
\nBy folk that to their souls were not yet blind:
\nSince the Bard\u2019s works contain a timeless list
\nOf archetypal codes within the mind.
\n++<\/span>If these those steely scientists would read,
\n++<\/span>They’d find the buried treasure humans need.<\/p>\n
