For lack of a keystone, the false arch may be as much as one can expect in this life. Only the very lucky discover the keystone.
The geometer offers to the physicist a whole set of maps from which to choose. One map, perhaps, will fit the facts better than others, and then the geometry which provides that particular map will be the geometry most important for applied mathematics.
