"We have learned... that our own study of organic form ... is but a portion of that wider Science of Form which deals with the forms assumed by matter under all aspects and conditions, and, in a still wider sense, with forms which are theoretically imaginable... The mathematical definition of a 'form' has a quality of precision which... is expressed in few words or in still briefer symbols, and these words and symbols are so pregnant with meaning that thought itself is economized; we are brought by means of it in touch with Galileo's aphorism (as old as Plato, as old as Pythagoras, s old perhaps as the wisdom of the Egyptians) that the Book of Nature is written in characters of Geometry."
