16. How do the patterns of creativity displayed by scientists

The poets celebrate nature while scientists cultivate nature. The poets like

Scientists utilize the resources of nature to create useful things. However, we
can say there is no enmity between poets and scientists. There are poets like
Shelley, who have beautifully fused poetry with Science, He has shown that
patterns of creativity- whether by scientists or by the poets can remain the
same.
