   American poet. Born 1892.   
   Don't get much of a language connection, except insofar as every poet   
   has one.   
      
   Crystal quotes at length from a satirical piece she wrote in the early   
   20s in reaction to the prevailing spirit of wowserism in America   
   (Prohibition, etc.) "dancing abolished...Sale of crepe paper and colored   
   balloons prohibited. Two men surprised in Central Park with pockets full   
   of confetti; and given sixty days each."   
      
   In looking around for more information, I came across a line:   
      
   Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare.   
      
   which took me back to a book I was given for Christmas, age 14:   
      
   Imagination's Other Place: Poems of Science and Mathematics   
   Compiled by Helen Plotz (NY,Thomas Y.Crowell, 1955).   
      
   And here it is. I should read it again.   
      
   Here's how that short poem ends:   
      
   Fortunate they   
   Who, though once only and then but far away,   
   Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.   
      
   This took me back to the algebraist Bomshik Chang, who taught one of the   
   last mathematics courses I took, before I decided math was not my life's   
   calling. He loved algebra, found beauty in it, and communicated this   
   experience in his lectures. I see he died in 2012, but he's remembered   
   for something:
