Number, Measure, and Law

"We need number, measure, and law as armor and as a weapon, lest we be swallowed up by chaos."

Between the Present and Past Worlds

"A grey wall, a green ruin, rusty pike, 
Make my soul pass the equinoctial line 
Between the present and past worlds, and hover 
Upon their airy confine, half-seas-over"

G. G. Byron, Canto X of Don Juan, 1818-23
