Holding a mirror up to nature

Jump to Comments

Elephants never forget… what they look like, apparently.

I could go on about how a palindrome doesn’t have to include words, or how animals are more self-aware than we have been led to believe, but I won’t because the video and painting remind me too much of the old journalism adage: A picture is worth 1,000 words.

I am also reminded of Renee Magritte’s “The Treachery of Images.”

(Translation: This is not a pipe.)

This is not a pipe, just the same as a painting of an elephant (even when painted by an elephant) is not an elephant.

I guess every palindrome has it’s limit.
