The post, on triangles and figurate geometry, has had some
minor image corrections, and these corrections have now
also been made in a new Zenodo version.

(Some aesthetic background:  In the words of Alan D. Perlis,
that post concerns "a conception that embodies action and
the passing of time in the rigid and timeless structure of an
art form.")

"Alan Perlis also addresses the artist’s freezing of
time as he looks at As I Lay Dying.  He sees Darl as
an artist-figure who catches “action in the tension
of stopped-time” (104). Both critics link Faulkner to
John Keats, whose poetry often seeks immortality,
like that of an object such as a Grecian urn or an
Ozymandian monument. Perlis sums this up, saying
that Faulkner 'is an idealist in the manner of a Keats
or a Wallace Stevens, who ponder the paradoxical
nature of a conception that embodies action and the
passing of time in the rigid and timeless structure of
an art form.' "
