User:Nine-and-fifty swans

Formerly 9and50swans

The trees are in their autumn beauty,

The woodland paths are dry,

Under the October twilight the water

Mirrors a still sky;

Upon the brimming water among the stones

Are nine-and-fifty swans.

The nineteenth autumn has come upon me

Since I first made my count;

I saw, before I had well finished,

All suddenly mount

And scatter wheeling in great broken rings

Upon their clamorous wings.

The Wild Swans at Coole, W.B.Yeats

I don't have any aspritations to write articles on wikipedia or make substantial edits but I do try to correct some of the mistakes I come across and may make some comments on talk pages. I have a particular interest in number symbolism and the early history of maths, some of which I believe is too simple for those who have studied higher maths to understand.
