my oath


I would like to add a final word on leonardo and geometry and nature. One must consider the human being as a work of architecture not unlike the pantheon or the parthenon or the alexethon. God uses his own mathematics to construcut nature and a genius like leonardo (or a non-genius like gardega who works hard to be a genius understands this.) That is why great artists have studied geometry and especially divine proportion (which is best explained as the small is to the large as the large is to the whole.) Although much wisdom is lost and modern artists are adrift without the sturdy rudder of geometry I promise to do my best to re-light the torch of renaissance wisdom that was almost completely extinguished by the death of Dali.
