Extract

Miquel's Theorem, as generalised by Clifford, states that the four circles through the intersections of four straight lines, taken in triads, meet in a point; that the five such points derived from five lines, taken in sets of four, lie on a circle; that the six such circles, determined by six lines, meet in a point……. The process continues indefinitely.
