  Title: Romanticism and Bacon
  Passage: The Romantics, in seeking to understand Nature in her living essence, studied the 'Father of Science', Sir Francis Bacon.  The view of Bacon and the 'inductive method' that emerges is quite a different one from that that tended to prevail both before and then after, here mainly due to John Stuart Mill's interpretation later in the 1800s.  For the Romantics, induction as generally interpreted 'was not enough to produce correct understanding in Bacon's terms.'  They saw another side of Bacon, generally not developed, one in which nature was a labyrinth not open to "excellence of wit" nor "chance experiments": "Our steps must be guided by a clue, and see what way from the first perception of the sense must be laid out upon a sure plan."
  Title: Garry Bushell
  Passage: Garry Bushell (born 13 May 1955, Woolwich, South East London) is an English newspaper columnist, rock music journalist, television presenter, author and political activist.  Bushell also sings in the Oi!  band the Gonads and manages the New York City Oi!  band Maninblack.  Bushell's recurring topical themes are comedy, country and class.  He has campaigned for an English Parliament, a Benny Hill statue and for variety and talent shows on TV.

  Title: Scientia potentia est
  Passage: The phrase "scientia potentia est"" (or "scientia est potentia" or also "scientia potestas est")" is a Latin aphorism meaning "knowledge is power".  It is commonly attributed to Sir Francis Bacon, although there is no known occurrence of this precise phrase in Bacon's English or Latin writings.  However, the expression ""ipsa scientia potestas est"" ('knowledge itself is power') occurs in Bacon's "Meditationes Sacrae" (1597).  The exact phrase ""scientia potentia est"" was written for the first time in the 1668 version of the work "Leviathan" by Thomas Hobbes, who was secretary to Bacon as a young man.

  Title: Portrait of George Dyer Talking
  Passage: Portrait of George Dyer Talking is an oil painting by Francis Bacon executed in 1966.  It is a portrait of his lover George Dyer made at the height of Bacon's creative power.  It depicts Dyer sitting on a revolving office stool in a luridly coloured room.  His body and face are contorted, and his legs are tightly crossed.  His head appears to be framed within a window or door.  Above him is a naked hanging lightbulb, a favourite motif of Bacon's.  The work contains a number of spatial ambiguities, not least that Dyer's body seems to be positioned both in the fore- and background.
