26669 - Einstein

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Theodoros Tsiamitas

Einstein
didn’t throw away
any of Carathéodory’s
letters
no matter
how many years passed by
because he knew
their value
and the assistance
which they gave him
when he was struggling
with the formalism
of mathematics
in order to resolve
the extension problems
of Relativity
but simultaneously
he had respect
towards the face
of the intellectual
and its spirit.
