Epigraph:
When I seek, I look, look, look …. – Benoit Mandelbroit.
The Mandebrot set is not an invention of the human mind: it was a discovery. Like Mount Everest, the Mandelbrot set was just there. – Sir Roger Penrose.
C’est l’infini dans le fini – Baudelaire.
I do not see how a man can work on the frontiers of science and write poetry at the same time. They are in opposition. In science you want to say something that nobody knew before, in words which everyone can understand. In poetry you are bound to say…. something that everyone knows already in words that nobody can understand. – Paul M Dirac.2
… the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all science …. – Wordsworth, of poetry.
