The Cyberiad (edit title)

Daniel Z edited the quotations of The Cyberiad Sunday, November 22 2009.

• Edited a quotation: “Come, let us hasten to a higher plane, Where dyads tread the fairy fields of Venn, Their indices bedecked from one to n, Commingled in an endless Markov chain! Come, every frustram longs to be a cone, And every vector dreams of matrices. Hark to the gentle gradient of the breeze: It whispers of a more ergodic zone. In Riemann, Hilbert or in Banach space Let superscripts and subscripts go their ways. Our asymptotes no longer out of phase, We shall encounter, counting, face to face. I'll grant thee random access to my heart, Thou'lt tell me all the constants of thy love; And so we two shall all love's lemmas prove, And in our bound partition never part. For what did Cauchy know, or Christroffel, Or Fourier, or any Boole or Euler, Wielding their compasses, their pens and rulers, Of thy supernal sinusoidal spell? Cancel me not--for what then shall remain? Abscissas, some mantissas, modules, modes, A root or two, a torus and a node: The inverse of my verse, a dull domain.”Trurl's electronic bard, reponding to a request to compose a "lyrical, pastoral" love poem in the language of tensor algebra.algebra (1).
• Added a quotation: “Ellipse of bliss, converge, O lips divine! The product of our scalars is defined! Cyberiad draws nigh, and the skew mind Cuts capers like a happy haversine. I see the eigenvalue in thine eye, I hear the tender tensor in they sigh, Bernoulli would have been content to die, Had he but known such a^2 cos 2 Φ!”Trurl's electronic bard, reponding to a request to compose a "lyrical, pastoral" love poem in the language of tensor algebra (2).
