art. Balance, harmony, symmetry The circle: the perfection of God

Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, ”Oration on the Dignity of Man”, 1486
The nature of all other creatures is defined and restricted within laws which We have laid down; you, by contrast, impeded by no such restrictions, may, by your own free will, to whose custody We have assigned you, trace for yourself the lineaments of your own nature. I have placed you at the very center of the world, so that from that vantage point you may with greater ease glance round about you on all that the world contains. We have made you a creature neither of heaven nor of earth, neither mortal nor immortal, in order that you may, as the free and proud shaper of your own being, fashion yourself in the form you may prefer. It will be in your power to descend to the lower, brutish forms of life; you will be able, through your own decision, to rise again to the superior orders whose life is divine.''

Music Music also consists of divine proportions. Dividing a string in half (2:1) = creates a new
tone that is an octave above the original tone. Eg. Shylock the jew in The Merchant of
Venice
