17994 - If you can’t imagine
N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Angeliki Papadopoulou, Evi Charitidou
If you can’t imagine
a regular polygon
with two hundred fifty seven sides
made only
with a pair of compasses and a ruler
then learn about Ramanujan
because he managed to solve
what was unthinkable for the others
because he had invented the target
before they even thought that it could be done
because he believed
in the theorem of Gauss
and without any fear
he followed the intelligence
to surpass the obstacles
which you may imagine
in order to prove
that the dignity
of Humanity
comes from the action.
