Euclid Alone Has Looked on Beauty Bare

Euclid was an ancient Greek mathematician who lived in the Greek city of Alexandria in Egypt during the 3rd century BCE. Euclid is often referred to as the 'father of geometry' and his book 13- volume set of books Elements was used well into the 20th century as the standard textbook for teaching geometry. 

In the original poem, the word " Beauty" appeared twice and both wrote as capitalized and the last line wrote as " her massive sandal", it seems Millay referring to Beauty as a beautiful lady which I would interpret that as Euclid's geometry work. Moreover, Millay wrote ' Euclid alone has looked on Beauty bare, Let all who prate of Beauty hold their peace, And lay them prone upon the earth and cease'  It seems in author's perspective, Euclid is the only person who understands geometry work thoroughly well and way above everyone else.

For the next poem, I feel the author Kramer disagrees with  Millay's perspective about Euclid. Kramer questioned Millay that if she has not looked on Beauty bare it doesn't mean Euclid was the only one who has looked on Beauty bare, so I interpret that Kramer criticizes Millay emphasize all the importance of geometry work to Euclid and forgot the important contribution of other mathematicians.
