Today’s word is “volute” ... vuh-loot ... a spiral or twisted formation or object; Zoology. a turn or whorl of a spiral shell. (Dictionary.com)
Around
Nature has a certain shape,
The volute twirling round,
Little shells upon the beach,
By little children found.
We have so admired them,
We’ve copied all their grace,
In stone capitals and carpentry,
And in centrafugal space.
Strange how this precise design,
From the dawn of time,
Forshadows our creations,
As we trace every line.
