“The foundation of empire is art and science”
— William Blake

Simplified Meaning:
Art and science are like the building blocks for a strong and successful society. Think about a city as big and influential as ancient Rome. It wasn't just powerful because of its armies, but also because of the knowledge, technologies, and creative works it developed. Engineers built amazing roads and aqueducts using scientific principles, while artists created beautiful paintings and sculptures that inspired people. These achievements in art and science made the city a place where people wanted to live and visit, bringing even more wealth and ideas. If someone focuses on learning new things (science) and creating meaningful works (art), they can build a better community and greatly contribute to its prosperity.
