CANTO ONE: "slain/By"

[Tim Strzechowski]

This is a pretty cool exercise, guys.  I, for one, have a problem with 1881
suggesting "life" only because the time between the two "walls" of birth and
death are hardly infinity (much less infinity doubled/squared!).  But 131
has more of a suggestion of "life" to me because that there 3 is
significantly less than 8 (i.e. infinity).  Further, the visual aspect of a
3 has an unfinished quality to it compared to the infinite cyclicality of an
8.

Who said studying literature doesn't involve numbers?
