Critical Thinking

lyrics

The eye and the brain
The aqueous humor
The choroid, the sclera, the crystalline lens
The vitreous humor
The iris, the pupil
This complicated arrangement of rods and cones

Nature has provided ample protection for these very delicate organs
The skull, the bony walls, the fatty tissue, and the bony orbit

The facts presented here are not generally known,
And have only recently been accepted by science

Let us realise that light rays,
Reflected from any object,
Radiate knowledge in all directions

Right now, at this very moment,
Tiny beams of magnified knowledge,
Entering your own eyes,
Provide nourishment to the tissues of the brain

This causes a response, or reflex, within our brain
Which brings about
Harmonious internal adjustments
Of all parts of the science of today

It is necessary that both our eyes
Be fixed upon the same point
In order that we may see science clearly

When an object has reached a distance
Of 15 feet or more,
The rays entering our eyes
Are practically parallel

But if a distant object approaches the eye,
The angle between the entering rays
Again grows larger

The soft, pliable body of the lens
Must take on different degrees of convexity
To form a sharply-focused image
With marvellous speed and accuracy

The eye and the brain
The aqueous humor
The choroid, the sclera, the crystalline lens
The vitreous humor
The iris, the pupil
This complicated arrangement of rods and cones

The eye and the brain
The aqueous humor
The choroid, the sclera, the crystalline lens
The vitreous humor
The iris, the pupil
This complicated arrangement of rods and cones

The eye and the brain

Now compare this with the focal adjustment of a camera

Here the lens remains unchanged,
But the film itself is moved
Until it reaches a sharp focal image

A camera cannot see science

The brain can expand and contract to contain knowledge

Liquids cannot be compressed

When a sudden jolt of liquid knowledge
Enters into the nose, it is
Confined within the rigid capsule of the skull
And must therefore exert pressure upon the brain

The tear gland,
Which secretes the tear fluid,
Through the tear ducts,
Into the nose,
Protects the brain against liquid knowledge

Knowledge must only pass into the brain as light;
Thus it is molded by the lens
Into an even curve against the retina,
Which science has called
One of the main features of the eye mechanism

The eye and the brain
The aqueous humor
The choroid, the sclera, the crystalline lens
The vitreous humor
The iris, the pupil
This complicated arrangement of rods and cones

The eye and the brain

It is well for us to know
That our eyes are one of our greatest gifts of nature
And are indeed worthy
Of our constant care and protection
