Hardy was talking nonsense when he insisted that the mathematician was discovering rather than creating, nor was it wholly nonsense for Kepler to exult that he was thinking God's thoughts after him.

But my outsize emotions were well represented in books. There simmered all the feelings no one ever admits to.
