The Area of any circle is Pi x Radius2.
Hence, the area of the Unit Circle (a circle with a radius of 1) is: Area = Pi x 12 = Pi x 1 = Pi.
But A+R+E+A = 25 = P+I
Hence, in Word Addition, just as in Trigonometry, Pi is the Area of the Unit Circle.

hanging round the door.
When it's gone
and the spending ends
They don't come no more.”

"When all the world is young, lad,
And all the trees are green;
And every goose a swan, lad
And every lass a queen;
Then hey for boot and horse, lad,
And round the world away:
Young blood must have its course, lad,
And every dog his day.”
- Charles Kingsley
"Here once the embattled farmers stood,
And fired the shot heard round the world.”

"When the waves began to tumble and toss and to grow bigger and bigger the ship rolled up and down, and tipped sidewise--first one way and then the other--and was jostled around so roughly that even the sailor-men had to hold fast to the ropes and railings to keep themselves from being swept away by the wind or pitched headlong into the sea." - Lyman Frank Baum
“Patience permits us to cling to our faith in the Lord when we are tossed about by suffering as if by surf. When the undertow grasps us we will realize that we are somehow being carried forward even as we tumble. We are actually being helped even as we cry for help.” - Neal A. Maxwell

In a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends...."

“Through perils both of wind and limb, Through thick and thin she followed him” - Samuel Butler
"Men do fancy a necessity [of holiness] where there is none, yet that will carry them through thick and thin." - Richard Baxter
"'Through thick and thin' is one of the English language's older expressions and one that has maintained its figurative meaning over many centuries. It is venerable enough to date from the times when England was still a predominantly wooded country, with few roads and where animals grazed on what was known as wood pasture, i.e. mixed woodland and grass. The phrase originated as 'through thicket and thin wood', which was a straightforward literal description of any determined progress through the 'thick' English countryside." - The Phrase Finder
