Best math talk ever. Mr Ghrist, if you read this comment (I hope you check HN before Reddit), you are the Umberto Eco of math. As a way of thanking you, here's a poem which I hope you will enjoy. The poem was written exactly 100 years ago, although I'm not sure if there's any meaning in this. I do not crush the world’s corolla of wonders and I don’t kill by means of mind the mysteries I meet along my path in flowers, eyes, on lips and graves. The light of others destroys the spell of mystery concealed in darkness depths, but I, I with my light enhance world’s secret – And as the white moonlight doesn’t diminish, but shimmering more it increases the secret of the night, so I enrich the dark horizon with greater chills of sacred mystery and all that is unknown becomes even more enigmatic under my eyes because I love flowers, and eyes, and lips, and graves.
