"That was when I saw the Pendulum.

The sphere, hanging from a long wire set into the ceiling of the choir, swayed back and forth with isochronal majesty.

I knew- but anyone could have sensed it in the magic of that serene breathing- that the period was governed by the square root of the length of the wire and by Pi, that number which, however irrational to sub lunar minds, through a higher rationality binds the circumference and diameter of all possible circles. The time it took the sphere to swing from end to end was determined by an arcane conspiracy between the most timeless of measures: the singularity of the point of suspension, the duality of the plane's dimensions, the triadic beginning of Pi, the secret quadratic nature of the root, and the unnumbered perfection of the circle itself."
