The Stone on the Grave of Diophantus
The gods granted him childhood for a sixth of his life, and a twelfth for his adolescence. A barren marriage took up a seventh of his life. Five years passed, and then a child was born to him. No sooner had this child reached half the age of its father than it died. Diophantus lived for four more years, drowning his pain in the study of numbers, and then gave up his life.
NOSTALGIA
Nostalgia can be calculated
also using numbers.
It is distance multiplied by
a factor of love.
