Consensual — pen and ink drawing

Description

"as yes is to if, love is to yes" – E. E. Cummings, 1 x 1 (1944), XXXIV

"Why is geometry often described as “cold” and “dry?” One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline, or a tree. Clouds are not spheres, mountains are not cones, coastlines are not circles, and bark is not smooth, nor does lightning travel in a straight line… Nature exhibits not simply a higher degree but an altogether different level of complexity." — Benoit Mandelbrot, 'The Fractal Geometry of Nature' (1977, 1983), Introduction, xiii.
