Capitolo 66
ample he/she wants to say of information.
Extraneous. (TO HIM.) What do I have to do? Coop; one more
matter suggests me. When you see a Right Line--
His/her wife, for example--how many Dimensions it attributes to her?
ME. Your Dominion would treat me as if I were one of the vernacular who,
being ignorant of the Mathematics, he/she supposes that a Donna is really a Right Line,
and only of A Dimension. No, no, my God; us Plazas you/he/she has put better to the current one,
and it is well as aware of Your Dominion that a Donna, although generally
called a Right Line, it is, really and scientifically,
a very thin Parallelogram, possessing Two Dimensions,
as the rest of us, viz., length and the width (or the bigness).
Extraneous. But the a lot of fact that a Line is visible it implicates
what it still possesses another Dimension.

We see his/her length, we inflict his/her width; what, although a lot of disdains,

You owe--besides inflicting his/her width--to see his/her length,
and to See what we call his/her Height; even if the last Dimension
it is infinitesimal in Your country. If a Line were mere length
without "height", it would stop occupying Space and it would become invisible.
Do you certainly have to recognize this?
ME. I have to confess indeed that I don't do in the minimum understands
Your Dominion. When we in Flatland see a Line, we see length
and the Brightness. If brightness disappears, the Line is extinct,
and, as you say, it stops occupying Space. But it is me to imagine that
Your Dominion gives the title of a Dimension to the brightness,
and what what we call "bright" you call "tall?"
Extraneous. No, indeed. From "height" I intend a Dimension as Your length:
with You, "height" it only is not so easily, perceptible, while being extremely small.
ME. My God, Your affirmation has easily tried. You say
I have a third Dimension that you call "height." Now, Dimension
