Spoken Of The Young Archimedes: . . . [he] Was As Much Enchanted By The Rudiments Of Algebra As He Would Have Been If I Had Given Him An Engine Worked By Steam, With A Methylated Spirit Lamp To Heat The Boiler; More Enchanted, Perhaps For The Engine Would Have Got Broken, And, Remaining Always Itself, Would In Any Case Have Lost Its Charm, While The Rudiments Of Algebra Continued To Grow And Blossom In His Mind With An Unfailing Luxuriance. Every Day He Made The Discovery Of Something Which Seemed To Him Exquisitely Beautiful; The New Toy Was Inexhaustible In Its Potentialities.
