(To paraphrase, since I can't remember the exact words), He replied that a scientist can see the outer beauty of the flower as much as the poet - it's just that the scientist can see poetry on a larger scale (the ecosystem, the bees, the co-evolution) and smaller scale (the cellular biology, the biochemistry, the chemistry, the atoms themselves, and then further down into the subatomic particles, etc). Just because you know how a car works doesn't mean that you can't enjoy a ride across the countryside.
