It is said that science murders of the beautyof art. By science discovery, fantastic fairies are broke. But does science bring material wealthy?

Like many have said before me, I believe that Whitman is trying to communicate the fact that the scientific process is inferior to a natural, romantic, and personal interaction with the subject beings studied. (This is pretty evident in the diction of the poem--how it changes...)
