The Romance of Tangents

A tangent is a line which meets a circle at one point and one point only – the poignant point of tangency, and never ever meets the circle again, even if extended.

Can you hear the tangent singing James Blunt’s “You’re beautiful”?
“And I don’t think that I’ll
See her again
But we shared a moment
That will last ’til the end”
…
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
You’re beautiful
It’s true”
