From Yeats's sequel to "Sailing to Byzantium,"
titled simply "Byzantium" —

Astraddle on the dolphin's mire and blood,
Spirit after spirit! The smithies break the flood,
The golden smithies of the Emperor!
Marbles of the dancing floor
Break bitter furies of complexity,
Those images that yet
Fresh images beget,
That dolphin-torn, that gong-tormented sea.

The New York Times  asks above,

"Are art and science forever divided?
Or are they one and the same?"

A poet's approach . . . 

“The old man of ‘Sailing to Byzantium’ imagined the city’s power
as being able to ‘gather’ him into ‘the artifice of eternity’—
presumably into ‘monuments of unageing intellect,’ immortal and
changeless structures representative of or embodying all knowledge,
linked like a perfect machine at the center of time.”

— Karl Parker, Yeats’ Two Byzantiums 

A mathematician's approach . . .

Compare and contrast the 12-dimensional extended binary Golay code
with the smaller 8-dimensional code below, which also has minimum
weight 8 . . .

Perhaps someone can prove there is no  way that adding more generating
codewords can turn the cube-motif code into the Golay code, or perhaps
someone can supply such generating codewords.
