Homage to Euclid
In my preceding post (20 March 2014) Katharine Merow's poem tells of the new geometries
developed with variations of Euclid's Parallel Postulate.
Martin Dickinson's poem, on the other hand, tells of richness within Euclid's geometry.
Homage to Euclid by Martin Dickinson
What points are these,
visible to us, yet revealing something invisible—
invisible, yet real?

As we embark on this plane
of earthly love, I should explain,
my experiences with men
have doubled my troubles
and halved my pleasures,
divided my time into fractions
