I took this picture almost two years ago in Sydney. I found the sculpture interesting, but its reflection even more so. The reflection reminded me of Robert Burns’ poem To a Louse. It concludes with:
‘O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!’

Such a power or ability would save us a lot of bother and ‘foolish notions’; but a louse cannot see itself as others see it.
