Science endeavors to be objective, but poets have recognized the universality of consciousness through their own subjective awareness. Below follows one example from the poem "Tintern Abbey" which was written by the poet William Wordsworth:
“… and I have felt
a presence that disturbs me with the joy
of elevated thought; a sense sublime
of something far more deeply interfused,
whose dwelling is in the light of setting sun,
and around oceans and the living air,
and the blue sky, and the mind of man:
a motion and a spirit, that impels
all thinking things, all objects of all thought,
and rolls through all things.”
