"If I'd been born in 1159, when the world was steadier, I might well have felt, at 53, that the next generation would share my values and appreciate the same things I appreciated; no apocalypse pending. But I was born in 1959, when TV was something you watched only during prime time, and people wrote letters and put them in the mail, and every magazine and newspaper had a robust books section, and venerable publishers made long-term investments in young writers, and New Criticism reigned in English departments, and the Amazon basin was intact, and antibiotics were used only to treat serious infections, not pumped into healthy cows. It wasn't necessarily a better world (we had bomb shelters and segregated swimming pools), but it was the only world I knew to try to find my place in as a writer."

i'm not sure. maybe the mirror is supposed to show the other side of his face? so the left half of his face looks like lincoln but the right looks like some aging guy?
― reckless woo (Z S), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 14:16 (ten years ago) link
i like how baffling it is, though. they should just print the angry letters they get rather than the captions

― golfdinger (darraghmac), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 14:21 (ten years ago) link
the key question for me is, is the reflection in the mirror supposed to illustrate this man's sudden realization that he resembles Abe? or is it supposed to show that he IS Abe?
― reckless woo (Z S), Tuesday, 12 November 2013 14:24 (ten years ago) link
perspective being trusted, it's not his reflection tbh

i mean this is quite clearly a man shaving through the window of abraham lincoln's house
it is a picture of abe lincoln in pajamas with the same bathroom tile walls, hung above the sink

how about:
"oh boy" (as often uttered in dismay at the end of episodes of '90s US TV show quantum leap by the main character - whose consciousness travels through time and space and into the body of someone other than himself (soemtimes a figure from history) - when the face of his new host body that will feature in the subsequent episode is revealed as he glimpses its reflection in e.g. a bathroom mirror)
