‘Even as the finite encloses an infinite series.  
And in the unlimited limits appear,  
So the soul of immensity dwells in minutia.  
And in the narrowest limits no limit in here.  
What joy to discern the minute in infinity!  
The vast to perceive in the small, what divinity!’  
  
From _Ars Conjectandi _(1713), a book on probability by Swiss mathematician Jacob Bernoulli, published eight years after his death by his nephew, Nicolaus I Bernoulli.
