"The perimeter of a fractal may be iteratively drawn ad infinitum."

The 17th-century writer Jonathan Swift incorporated the idea of self-similarity in the following lines from his satirical poem On Poetry: a Rhapsody (1733):

The vermin only teaze and pinch
Their foes superior by an inch.
So, naturalists observe, a flea
Has smaller fleas that on him prey;
And these have smaller still to bite 'em,
And so proceed ad infinitum.
Thus every poet, in his kind,
Is bit by him that comes behind^[1]

The mathematician Augustus De Morgan included similar lines in his rhyme Siphonaptera.^[2]
