Brief reflections on definitions of LINE . . .
Breathless length by JoAnne Growney
A LINE, said Euclid, lies evenly
with the points on itself --
that is, it’s straight –-
and Euclid did (as do my friends)
named points as its two ends.
The LINE of modern geometry
escapes these limits
and stretches to infinity.
Just as unbounded lines
of poetry.
