the poles of the same thing,
and then the circular principle,
which gravitates around a center.

If you choose to represent the various parts in life
by holes upon a table, of different shapes -
some circular, some triangular, some square, some oblong -
and the persons acting these parts by bits of wood of similar shapes,
we shall generally find that the triangular person has got into the square hole,
the oblong into the triangular,
and the square person has squeezed himself into a round hole.
The officer and the office, the doer and the thing done,
seldom fit so exactly that we can say they were almost made for each other.
-Sydney Smith
As lines, so love oblique, may well
Themselves in every angle greet;
But ours, so truly parallel,
Though infinite, can never meet.
