Although this may be true, many of her poems followed modern principles. An example is “Not Waving, but Drowning,” a morbid poem about suicide and depression. Morbid poems

Only when some record of the counting was kept and, therefore, some representation of numbers occurred can mathematics be said to have started. In Babylonia mathematics developed from 2000 BC.
