“He took the props down used for propping open,
And set them up again for propping shut,
The widespread double doors two stories high.
The advantage-disadvantage of these doors
Was that tramp taking sanctuary there
Must leave them unlocked to betray his presence.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)

“A kind of Pythagorean terror, as though the irrationality of pi were an offence against the deity, not to mention his creature.”
