Devil be Damned

Quotes included in a book I'm reading:

Nature and Nature's law lay hid in night:
God said, Let Newton be! and all was light;

Alexander Pope
It did not last: the Devil howling "Ho!
Let Einstein be!" restored the status quo.

Sir John Collings Squire

Interesting coincidence, I'm reading "The Island of the Colorblind" (Oliver Sacks). Can something be 'read' into that?
