“When New Haven was founded, the city was laid out into
a grid of nine squares surrounded by a great wilderness.
Last year History of Art Professor Emeritus Vincent Scully
said the original town plan reflected a feeling that the new city

their new Puritan settlement as a ‘nine-square paradise on Earth,
heaven on earth, New Haven, New Jerusalem.'”

For the eight-limbed star at the top of the quaternion array She drew from her handbag a pale grey gleaming implement that looked by quick turns to me like a knife, a gun, a slim sceptre, and a delicate branding iron—especially when its tip sprouted an eight-limbed star of silver wire. “The test?” I faltered, staring at the thing. “Yes, to determine whether you can live in the fourth dimension or only die in it.” — Fritz Leiber, short story, 1959 |
