The earthly godlike proportion states:
The smaller part is to the greater
As the greater part is to the whole.
Did the gods on a Mount Arithmos
Come up with this divine division?
The alchemy of the Golden Mean.
A universal logarithmic
Is a phrase that counts, as all words do –
A phrase describing this mundane verse?
Is a logarithmic spiral’s song
A poem that could ascend or plunge?
A paradigm lost and then regained,
Scanning the gap between coupled words
Like heaven and hell or love and hate.
A precious proportion, though confined
In a golden rectangular page.
Or just say: 1 to point 618
That’s roughly one way of putting it
