His father seems to have foreseen the consequences of following this new pursuit, and though he did not prohibit him from reading Euclid under Ostilio Ricci, one of the professors at Pisa, yet he watched his progress with the utmost jealousy, and had resolved that it should not interfere with his medical studies.
Considering their means, and the state of science, they made as great, though not as fortunate discoveries discoveries which show patience, genius, and power of calculation. Apollonius was one of these one of the master intellects of antiquity, like Euclid and Archimedes one of the master intellects of all ages, like Newton himself.
It wanted but twenty minutes to eight when the young men left the room where important business not only for time, but, as it came to pass, for eternity, had been settled, and hurried, the one to the Euclid House, and the other around the corner toward the great dry-goods house on the main business street.
"Yes, sir, and I am proud of the dear old college," rejoined the colonel, warmly. "I agree with you," said Walter. "I have passed two years in the college." "Then, young man, here's my hand. My heart is always warm toward a Euclid man " "Even if you have to prosecute him for horse-stealing," suggested Lawyer Barry slyly. "Really, this is very painful!" said the colonel.
"They make such a lovely hissing noise, I like to hear them go off." "You'd better not strike them in class, then," replied Avis. "Do you dare me to?" "Why, even you wouldn't do such a risky thing!" "Oh! What would Miss Rowe say if you did it in the very middle of Euclid?" said Cissie Gardiner, with round eyes of delighted horror. "Then I will, just to show you I dare.
What I want to suggest is that the same extraordinary vitality of mind which made Hippocrates and Euclid and even Denis of Thrace last their two thousand years, was also put by the Greeks of the great age into those activities which are, for the most part at any rate, not perishable or progressive but eternal. This is a simple point, but it is so important that we must dwell on it for a moment.
"What news from the Canadas? Is the Queen dead, or has she restored the colony to the United Provinces?" "Mam'selle Alide!" exclaimed, or rather groaned, François. "The poor dumb beast! " muttered Euclid. The knives and the forks fell from the hands of Myndert and his guest, as it were by a simultaneous paralysis.
As a mathematician Anaximander must have been familiar in various aspects with the functions of the Infinite or Indefinable in the organisation of thought. To the student of Euclid, for example, the impossibility of adequately defining any of the fundamental elements of the science of geometry the point, the line, the surface is a familiar fact.
We can grasp it intellectually, in its sharp solidity, which is undisturbed by any ornament: it is, to the mind, like some complete intellectual performance; the mind rests on it, like a demonstration in Euclid. And yet what a color of beauty it takes on in the distance! When we return, the bandits have all gone to their road-making: the suspicious landlord is nowhere to be seen.
Another dead consolation! Shut it up." She herself opened a third and a fourth drawer. In one there appeared a copy of Euclid, and a slate with the problems still traced on it; the other contained a microscope, and the treatises relating to its use. "Always the same effort," she said, shutting the door of the press as she spoke; "and always the same result.
