“The object of geometry in all its measuring and computing, is to ascertain with exactness the plan of the great Geometer, to penetrate the veil of material forms, and disclose the thoughts which lie beneath them? When our researches are successful, and when a generous and heaven-eyed inspiration has elevated us above humanity, and raised us triumphantly into the very presence, as it were, of the divine intellect, how instantly and entirely are human pride and vanity repressed, and, by a single glance at the glories of the infinite mind, are we humbled to the dust.” MindHumansInspirationFormScienceLyingHumanityHeavenSuccessfulPlansObjectsDivineMaterialsPrideGloryResearchInfiniteRaisedIntellectDustVanityGenerousGlancesVeilsPenetrateGeometryMeasuringComputingRepressedExactness Author:Benjamin Peirce
