Does finite encloses an infinite series?

"Even as the finite encloses an infinite series
And in the unlimited limits appear,
So the soul of immensity dwells in minutia
And in the narrowest limits no limit in here.
What joy to discern the minute in infinity!
The vast to perceive in the small, what divinity!"

by Jacob Bernoulli, who introduced 'constant e' to mathematics; Ars Conjectandi.
