think difficult apply non-integer ratios poetry. language digital function (saussure place start idea), means natural mathematics of poetry discrete.
there surprisingly complex mathematical undepinning faerie queene; , pearl also. see no sign of irrationals (pi, e, or golden ratio) appearing in either of poems.
think poetry discontinuous medium: unlike painting, , unlike music. don't see how irrationals (or complex numbers) implicit in it.
