THE WAY OF ALL FLESH HALL OF MIRRORS by Samuel Butler

According to my copy, a man stands underneath a tree, holding his grey hat.

In the background are two smallish grey clouds.

The man has locks of brown and stands erect upon a smallish yellow mound.

He appears quite hale.

His topcoat is blue.


He has a satchel underneath his left arm.

Or a gun.

There is a church in the background.

Across from the man is a woman with massive petticoats adjusting her stocking.

The stocking is worsted wool of red and white stripe.

Could she be a strumpet?

And then for some reason, there’s the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

But there’s good news! It isn’t leaning anymore.
