"Flatland" (online) : http://www.alcyone.com/max/lit/flatland/ Edwin A. Abbott's classic tale of interdimensional experience.

I am a ratio noticed by few.
A pyramid, a flower, in math and in you.
A golden mediocrity in planets and space,
Fibonicci's forty in my fifteenth place.
Though quite small, I stretch to infinity,
The ancient greeks raised me up to divinity.
Fraternities exploit me without knowing my meaning
Some people maintain I have a mystical leaning.
(The number Phi 1.618.The golden proportion) From http://www.19.5degs.com/previous.php?r=16891&c=671
