Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only
truth, but supreme beauty--a beauty cold and austere,
like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of
our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of
painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of
a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.
