- T.S. Eliot, "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (Excerpt)Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.
For I have known them all already, known them all:—
Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons,
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;
I know the voices dying with a dying fall
Beneath the music from a farther room.
So how should I presume?
.
And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?
Archilochus

Ooo-kaaayy. I love math but that flew right over my head.
The little blurb at the end of the video helps a bit... but yeah, the presentation in the video is a bit obtuse.
This demonstrates what I've tried to explain a few times about the modern analytical understanding of number trumping the Greeks' purely geometric understanding. :P
...yet all the demonstrable 'beauty' in this examle finds its' proof in the ears thanks to those who developed the latter understanding. ;)
