Mathematical Emotion ~~~> Emotion and Vocation
http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/category/2009/11/mathematical_emotion.html

Speaking of the Royal Road from emotion to vocation in mathematics,
let us pause to remember this critical transition from another November:

| In November 1619, I had a dream involving the Seventh Ode of Ausonius, which begins:
|
| Quod vitae sectabor iter? --
|
| "What road in life shall I follow?"
|
| René Descartes, "Experimenta", CSM 1, p. 4.
