What we see
Can illusion be
The picture shows
more than the mirror
knows
But what
The painted
Brush stroke gives
Is a place
Where beauty
Lives.

I posted a link to your site on my alter ego's blog. Your work has inspired me lately and I thought I would share (you site, not your works...)

ESCHER, MY MAN!
DAS IST GUT UBERMENSCH!
THIS IS ACTUALLY RELATED TO YOUR STATEMENT ABOUT FINDING INNER PEACE ON YOUR OWN. THE HARDER YOU LOOK, THE HARDER IT IS TO SEE WHERE TO FIND THAT CENTRAL BALANCE, THAT TRUE PEACE, THAT ESSENCE OF LIFE THAT MAKES IT ALL WORTHWHILE.
I.E., WHAT CENTRAL AXIS OF PEACE? [misnomer of "axis" powers during WWII]

the dismembered central leg of 3 legs advocates the castration of Germans who raped Jewish women in the countries they overran during early part of WW II. AS A JEW, THIS IS ESCHER'S MOST VIOLENT PIECE.
