Now, as God the maker play’d he taught the game to Nature whom he created in his image; taught her the selfsame game which he played to her.
Johannes Kepler
History
Why waste words? Geometry
Why waste words? Geometry existed before the Creation, is co-eternal with the mind of God, is God himself (what exists in God that is not God himself?): geometry provided God with a model for the Creation and was implanted into man, together with God’s own likeness – and not merely conveyed to his mind through the eyes.
Johannes Kepler
Thus God himself was
Thus God himself was too kind to remain idle and began to play the game of signatures signing his likeness unto the world: therefore I chance to think that all nature and the graceful sky are symbolized in the art of Geometria.
Johannes Kepler
