acquired and "applied science" as knowledge from the research of pure science that is put to use (Kelley, 1976). He then goes on to compare Shelleys poem "To a Skylark"
to Reillys article "Skylark" in The Audubon Illustrated Handbook of American Birds to make his point (Kelley, 1976). In Shelleys poem, the skylark in question is compared to an angel,
