A couple of weeks ago my "Google Alert" linked me to a posting of a science poem concerning "the geometry of love." The posting -- at The Finch and Pea -- is a poem that is both elegant and precise (and one that has been included in the anthology, Strange Attractors: Poems of Love and Mathematics, that Sarah Glaz and I collected and edited several years ago). Here it is:
The Definition of Love by Andrew Marvell (England, 1621-1678)
My love is of a birth as rare
As ‘tis for object strange and high;
It was begotten by Despair
Upon Impossibility.
