Flaubert is favourite author of mine! i couldn't agree with him more. i think shakespeare and his sonnets are a perfect example of just how precise and WONDERFUL poetry is!
enjoy
Poetry is a subject as precise as geometry.
-Gustave Flaubert, novelist (1821-80)

I often gaze over my geometry book in awe at the beautiful metaphors and alliterative allegories

Geometry and math scare me. I prefer poetry and the like. I'm a Bachelor of Arts for a reason.

you know there is SUCH a beauty in NUMBERS.....i'm a math fiend...i will admit.....math and science were my forte......english i enjoyed, esp poetry!
but i see ART and NUMBERS in much the same way.....they can be chaotic and ordered at the same time.....i dunno it might be strange but it's how my world goes round and round! =0)

All math is to me is the credit I failed to get in grade 12... the credit I NEEDED to graduate.
My marks outside of math courses were good, so the principal let it slide and I graduated anyway.
MATH MUST DIE.
I know it's important, but so is death, and I don't like that either.
