“It seems, as one becomes older,That the past has another pattern, and ceases to be a mere sequence….I sometimes wonder if that is what Krishna meant—Among other things—or one way of putting the same thing:That the future is a faded song, a Royal Rose or a lavender sprayOf wistful regret for those who are not yet here to regret,Pressed between yellow leaves of a book that has never been opened.And the way up is the way down, the way forward is the way back.”

Throughout the observable world, when two simple iterative patterns overlap, they generate more complicated patterns through interference. Depending on the field of study, these can be referred to as beat frequencies, aliasing, moirés or latticing but they all follow the basic idea of complex structures built from the superimposition of two slightly offset simple patterns.

The Latin root it means “go.” Here we “go” on an “it” itinerary!Mass transit systems enable travelers to “go” across urban areas in an efficient fashion. These mass transit systems were initiated or “gone” into in the first place to clear city roads of cars. The mass transit systems make a circuit of the city, or “go” round them so as to serve all parts. This allows an itinerant person, or person on the “go,” to “go” to any part of a city that she wishes to as quickly as possible.

Robert Irwin writes in his study of Islamic art, such patterns may have been viewed “as exteriorized representations of abstract, even mystical, thought”—aiming to inspire contemplation or to make a statement about the imponderable harmonies of a divinely ordered universe.
