"He said: the universe is very clever
The scientists have laid it out on paper
Each atom goes on working out its law, and never
Can cut an unintentional caper.
He said: it is a geometric net
And in the middle, like a syphilitic spider
The Absolute was waiting, till we get
All tangled up and end ourselves inside her."
- untitled poem from Inventions Of The March Hare: Poems 1909-1917 by T. S. Eliot, edited by Christopher Ricks, New York, Harcourt Brace & Company: 1996.
