Example Sentences
- "Round rolls the stroke with mathematic care, All centre-bound, exactly circular: No sportive way it takes, at large and free, No gambol plays of freakful liberty […]"
- "This is the sort of struggle which proves a man's metal, and declares it sterling or counterfeit. No spuriosity, no charlatanry can stand this fiery alembic of hard-wrought and exquisite calculation, in which one mathematic point or unit misplaced destroys the whole chain of reasoning, and proves the candidate a blunderer."
