Referring to Luca Pacioli, the poet's voice of da Vinci says:
With him
a common feeling
that did not end over the years.
And in the "Proportion"
which he decided to call
"Divine"
where I drew
my polyhedra,
understanding
reached maximum splendor.
De Divina Proportione by Luca Pacioli |
why Pacioli wanted to call
divine,
the proportion that led
to a number
which to everyone,
the ‘golden number’ was.
And the answer
appeared to me from theology.
This irrational number, elusive to all human understanding,
unique but ubiquitous from nature to art, to harmony,
came from a simple drawing where only 3 elements needed.
It is made neither of water nor of air,
neither of fire nor of earth,
but it has in itself
something of invariable
and beautiful.
Something of divine!
. . .
Lots of information about the golden ratio/divine proportion is available here.
