Philosopher and statesman, born in London, England, UK, the younger
son of Sir Nicholas Bacon. He studied at Cambridge and Gray's Inn (1576), and was called
to the bar in 1582. Becoming an MP in 1584, he was knighted by James I in 1603. He was
in turn solicitor general (1607), attorney general (1613), privy counsellor (1616), Lord
Keeper (1617), and Lord Chancellor (1618). He became Baron Verulam in 1618, and was made
viscount in 1621. However, complaints were made that he accepted bribes from suitors in
his court, and he was publicly accused before his fellow peers, fined, imprisoned, and
banished from parliament and the court. Although soon released, and later pardoned, he
never returned to public office, and he died in London, deeply in debt. His philosophy is
best studied in The Advancement of Learning (1605) and Novum Organum (1620). His stress
on inductive methods gave a strong impetus to subsequent scientific investigation.

broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear.

*There is a road, no
simple highway,
Between the dawn and the dark of night,
And if you go no one may follow,
That path is for your steps alone.

Will risk uncertain pains of Hell?

If you will not take the chance.

*Picture a bright blue ball,
just spinnin', spinnin' free,
Dizzy with eternity.
Paint it with a skin of sky,
Brush in some clouds and sea,
Call it home for you and me.
A peaceful place, or so it looks from space,
A closer look reveals the human race.
Full of hope, full of grace
Is the human face,
But afraid we may lay our home to waste.

*You analyze me, pretend
to despise me,
You laugh when I stumble and fall.
There may come a day I will dance on your grave.
If unable to dance, I will crawl across it.
