You were perfection in my eyes. You were the ruler of my heart. Your smile lit my way through dark nights. Your gentle, mocking laughter lifted my spirit when the long days of study threatened my sanity. They said a woman had no place in mathematics but you proved them all wrong. You broke my heart in the end, but I never could stop loving you, amazing, strong, beautiful Hypatia.
It’s been more than thirty years, but I still dream that if I could have drawn the crystal stars from their cold trajectories and sent them orbiting about your perfect face I might have won your heart. You kindled a spark in the breast of this lonely student of physics and it still glows brightly for you. —Kepler
