Development of mathematical abstraction in poetry

[goryn]

So nat'ralists observe, a flea
Hath smaller fleas that on him prey,
And these have smaller fleas that bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum.

Jonathan Swift
                                                            18th centuryGreat fleas have little fleas upon their backs to bite 'em
