Jacquespierre It is as though they had not known of each other’s existence. Bacon has nowhere made mention of Shakespeare; he treats of dramatic poetry, but utters not a syllable in regard to the greatest dramatist “that ever lived in the tide of times,” although this one was even his fellow-citizen. So, likewise, Bacon treats often of astronomy, and introduces Copernicus and Galileo, but Kepler never. And yet, Kepler must have been known to him, for in the year 1618, he dedicated his great work, Harmonice Mundi to the self-same King James whom Bacon revered as his great patron, and in many of his own dedications, had styled a second Solomon.
