"From nature's tessellation of the honeycomb,
to Roman mosaics, to the tiles of ancient Greece,
to the marvelous designs of Moslem artists at
The Alhambra, to M. C. Escher's phenomenal
tessellations, to the simplicity of the Penrose
tiles - tessellations cross centuries and
cultures." said Theoni Pappas on page 84 of
the book "The magic of mathematics".
