Albert Einstein 21 - Annus Mirabilis Poem by Geeta Radhakrishna Menon

Albert Einstein 21 - Annus Mirabilis

Rating: 5.0


The year 1905 will be ever remembered,
By all leading scholars, scientists, physicists,
And all Albert Einstein fans and followers
As ‘Annus Mirabilis'
Or ‘The Year of Miracles'.
History will also record it as the triumphant year
Of individual effort, of concentrated work,
Of great discoveries and achievements.

Even more amazing is the fact,
That it was a young man - Albert Einstein,
Just twenty-six years old,
Without any solid economic background,
Without any support or guidance from universities,
Without any sponsorship, patronage from academicians,
Who manged to pave his way to dynamic accomplishments
And ride high in the hall of fame.

Besides the five major research work of spectacular quality,
Einstein additionally wrote twenty-three articles and reviews,
All in the same year of 1905,
And all by himself!
Einstein was self-reliant,
Self-determined and persistent.
Above all, self-confident that he would be victorious.
And, that was his secret of success!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I love reading autobiographies and biographies. As a student in school and college, I enjoyed reading Gandhi ji's autobiography -" The story of my experiments with the Truth" . Based on his story, I wrote 50 poems on Mahatma Gandhi in Poem Hunter and later, published it as a book entitled - " Mahatma Gandhi - Simple Living High Thinking" . Now, I am thoroughly enjoying writing on Albert Einstein, based on many books published on his life and works. Last one year, I have been reading on his life. His quotes are exceptional and have quoted them in the last few poems on Albert Einstein.1905 is considered as a spectacular year both as a great leap in Scientific research particularly Physics, as well as a year of great achievement for a brilliant young Albert Einstein - who opened up whole new prospect in science that startled the world. Earlier, it was only Isaac Newton in 1666, who enjoyed ‘Annus Mirabilis' when he laid the foundation of his work in mathematics, gravitation and light. Reference: Books on Albert Einstein Published by Princeton University Press. " Albert Einstein - A biography" by Alice Calaprice & Trevor Lipscombe 2019. Thank you, dear friends, for reading this biographical poem on Albert Einstein - an exceptional scientist par excellence. I appreciate your beautiful and valuable comments. Truly obliged!
