+ Come, every frustum 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.

+ 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 frustum 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.
