Picture

A visual image or representation; painted, sketched, photographed or otherwise placed onto a flat two dimensional surface. Often it is said that a picture is WORTH a thousand words. This is, however, a fairly meager appraisal once one remembers that it is also often said that talk is CHEAP.

"Life is painting a picture, not doing a sum." Holmes

There is nothing before me, and nothing behind.
I have nothing to lose, but yet nothing to find.

Prison

A fishbowl for guppies. The real sharks get to stay in the ocean, and never fall into the mariners' nets. They instead run for elected office and make fortunes on Wall Street. Never do the big fish see the inside of an aquarium.

"The vilest deeds like poison weeds
Bloom well in prison air:
It is only what is good in man
That wastes and withers there:
Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate
And the Warder in Despair."

Oscar Wilde
