...quaecumque sunt vera, quaecumque pudica, quaecumque justa, quaecumque sancta, quaecumque amabilia, quaecumque bonae famae, si qua virtus, si qua laus disciplinae, haec cogitate.
-- Phil. 4:8

Mathematical Tragedy

As lines, so love's oblique, may well
Themselves in every angle greet :
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet
-- Andrew Marvell in Definition of Love

Oh my, that's a clever one. I never see Euclidean fifth postulate in such romantic (albeit tragical) way.
