• My soul is an entangled knot,
  Upon a liquid vortex wrought
  By Intellect in the Unseen residing,
  And thine doth like a convict sit,
  With marline-spike untwisting it,
  Only to find its knottiness abiding;
  Since all the tools for its untying
  In four-dimensional space are lying,
  Wherein they fancy intersperses
  Long avenues of universes,
  While Klein and Clifford fill the void
  With one finite, unbounded homoloid,
  And think the Infinite is now at last destroyed.

  James Clerk Maxwell
