And now for something completely different

Edgar Allen Poe died on 7th October 1849.

As we all recall from 3.14.0a1, piphilology is the creation of mnemonics to help memorise the digits of π, and the number of letters in each word in a pi-poem (or “piem”) successively correspond to the digits of π.

In 1995, Mike Keith, an American mathematician and author of constrained writing, retold Poe’s The Raven as a 740-word piem. Here’s the first two stanzas of Near A Raven:

            Poe, E.
      Near a Raven

Midnights so dreary, tired and weary.
    Silently pondering volumes extolling all by-now obsolete lore.
During my rather long nap - the weirdest tap!
    An ominous vibrating sound disturbing my chamber’s antedoor.
        “This”, I whispered quietly, “I ignore”.

Perfectly, the intellect remembers: the ghostly fires, a glittering ember.
    Inflamed by lightning’s outbursts, windows cast penumbras upon this floor.
Sorrowful, as one mistreated, unhappy thoughts I heeded:
    That inimitable lesson in elegance - Lenore -
        Is delighting, exciting…nevermore.

Enjoy the new release
