Some of the 'Sonnets of Space and Time' were published in 'The Auckland Star' 1930 to 1933, and two in 'Contemporary Poets 1974' by the Regency Press, London. The famous British mathematician, Bertrand Russell, once wrote: 'Mathematics rightly viewed possesses supreme beauty-a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture. The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry.' This exaltation will surely come to those who succeed in visualizing a four-dimensional figure for, in this act, there is not merely the creation of a figure in four dimensions, but the experiencing of a spatial power not to be known while we are limited to a space of three dimensions. It is probable that the creative power of genius in art, music, literature, and in other fields of original activity, derives its inspiration from higher dimensional space. To visualize the simplest four-dimensional form is to experience something of this power for, by this act, we have taken the first ste 'Into the Fourth Dimension.
