Timeless, this:
It’s an interesting image, the Enneagram. The hidden message is the solution to π: 3.142857. I have tried to encode the following poem with the same message.
Enneagram
The symbol of esoteric knowledge
Reminds me of a halo ‘round the sun:
Inscribed as a circle, while on its edge,
A triangle and a bent hexagon.
Nine points mark the progress of time,
Gauging our actions and helping us plan
Linear activities: a sublime
Enneagram could be the Face of Man.
One way to approach it is to ask it
For a solution as simple as pie
To a problem, like from which basket
Ate the Knave of Hearts — it will never lie:
Five times out of ten, you’ll get the answer
Seven. Divide that up, if you can, sir!
