An example of personification in scientific discourse:
"Nature has happily ordained it as one of the great laws on which she has founded our moral happiness, that the performance of love and kindness to others should be a genuine and never-failing source of pleasure to our own hearts."
From an address given by obstetrician and pioneer of anaesthetics Sir James Simpson to medical students. Quoted in Cochrane, R. (Ed.). (1897). Heroes of Invention and Discovery. Lives of eminent inventors and pioneers in science. W. P. Nimmo, Hay, & Mitchell.)
