Light

Apart from JOHN 3, the most famous chapter of the Bible is undoubtedly GENESIS 1, which includes “Then God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light (GENESIS 1:3). Pope wrote an epitaph honoring the departed Newton as well as alluding to GENESIS 1:3. The epitaph is a couplet which reads, “Nature and Nature’s laws lay hid in night: / God said, ‘Let Newton be!’ and all was light.”
