… I
gazed
the flight
of
bird whose names I didn´t
know across
the
grey sky; I am not able to distinguish either
birds
or
trees, and that seems

If
you know the name of birds and trees, your conversation while
strolling gets richer. This is a kind of knowledge that is more
appreciated by old people. It´s also a kind of knowledge which
divides science people: the pure scientific type even pay no atention
to it. Indeed, many students decide to study Science and things like
Physics or Math because they want to escape from memoristic studies.
The Italian physicist Enrico Fermi, when a lot of new particles began
to appear in Physics, said: If I were able to remember so many
particle names, I would have studied Botanics
