The early study of Euclid made me a hater of geometry.

From Plane to Sphere
They all tried.
They tried to free Euclid of every flaw.
At Bach’s time Girolamo Saccheri did
And Adrien-Marie Legendre later.
Unconsoled,
Pitying himself and all mankind,
Farkas Bolyai came back
With broken mast and torn sail.
He came back from the voyage
To the reefs of the infernal Dead Sea.
He traversed the bottomless night,
Devoting his life to the search for truth,
Trying to prove Euclid’s fifth postulate
And reach the parallels.
At the beginning he warned his son
But later he encouraged, even urged him
To come forth with the novel idea
Of non-Euclidean geometry,
For violets react to light in early spring.
And János indeed
Brought forward new theorems.
In eighteen twenty three,
When he was only twenty-one years old,
He solved the timeworn problem.
He created a new universe
By removing points, lines and parallels
From the surface of the plane
And placing them
In the realm of the sphere.

Let me tell you about this love and hate relation
Between a man and a woman
And so none of you all get the wrong interpretation

Etymology, n.:
Some early etymological scholars come up with derivations that were hard for the public to believe. The term "etymology" was formed from the Latin "etus" ("eaten"), the root "mal" ("bad"), and "logy" ("study of"). It meant "the study of things that are hard to swallow."

Look at the way she dress
Why ya new girl's a mess
See that I was the best
And now you callin' me a hater

Maths
Algebra and Geometry are the two branches of maths
Which makes us think and we are in a fuss!
It is the best subject of education
For achieving good marks we need
dedication, determination and devotion
Algebra is well known for its equation,
Geometry for its proofs and theorems.
If we practise these subjects regularly
And master these coming out with flying colours
We will be someone like Aryabhatta or Pythagoras.

Euclid Alone
Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.
Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace,
And lay them prone upon the earth and cease
To ponder on themselves, the while they stare
At nothing, intricately drawn nowhere
In shapes of shifting lineage; let geese
Gabble and hiss, but heroes seek release
From dusty bondage into luminous air.
O blinding hour, O holy, terrible day,
When first the shaft into his vision shone
Of light anatomized! Euclid alone
Has looked on Beauty bare. Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.

I'm stubborn! : p
It’s true I’m grounded
But I’m still creating fun
I’ve made a book of poems
I didn’t study a word
It’s true I memorized
But I wasn’t talking about the syllabus
I meant my critiques
It’s true I have a cell
Who said I can’t call my friends at home
In fact my laptop was taken
But no one can take my friend's mobile
I’m not allowed to go out
Thanks, Mac. It’s beside school
After school I go with my friends to do the homework
But an ice-cream break wouldn’t hurt
I have to study
Who obligated studying on a desk?
Kitchen’s floor is where I “study”
They’re on diet
So I’m helping with the biscuits
I don’t have an I pod
But what are music channels made for? ? !
I’m not alone, but they also sleep
And the balcony is welcoming my voice with the stars
Who said I have to be mad and desperate
When I can still have a life on my own! !

Autobiography
My father made the walls resound,
He wore his collar the wrong way round.
When I was five the black dreamscame;
Nothing after was quite the same.
When I woke they did not care;
Nobody, nobody was there.
In my childhood trees were green
And there was plenty to be seen.
When my silent terror cried,
Nobody, nobody replied.
I got up; the chilly sun
Saw me walk away alone.
My mother wore a yellow dress;
Gentle, gently, gentleness.
The dark was talking to the dead;
The lamp was dark beside my bed.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.
Come back early or never come.

Blaise Pascal used to mark with charcoal the walls of his playroom, seeking a means of making a circle perfectly round and a triangle whose sides and angle were all equal. He discovered these things for himself and then began to seek the relationship which existed between them. He did not know any mathematical terms and so he made up his own. Using these names he made axioms and finally developed perfect demonstrations, until he had come to the thirty-second proposition of Euclid.

Roaming Numerals
Roam down, small shape, into the world,
All this geometry seizes us!
They disappear into the wild torrents
We call life as we know it.
Then the stage is set for abolishing fine
Shapes.
Then mathematicians confer to find a perfect grade,
To be always in our hearts and heresies.
This is the study of numbers,
And this night warms the day
When sadness collects and happiness expires.
But our knowledge of the shapes
Makes us superior and well-loved.

There are two methods for the literary study of any book - the first being the study of its thought and emotion; the second only that of its workmanship. A student of literature should study some of the Bible from both points of view.

Demonoid Phenomenon
Hell on earth
For what its worth
Dead on dreaming
You started screaming
The wizard of how
The king of the now
Cry like a banshee
And die like you want me
Violator
Desecrator
Turn around and meet the hater
Violator

Turn around and
Demonoid phenomenon
Get it out
Get it on
Demonoid phenomenon
Get it out
Get it on
The conquering worm
The slithering germ
Lost in black sleep
I see how the gods weep
The horror of madness
The terminal sadness
The cool air of mourning
Gave me the warning
Violator

Turn around and meet the hater
