Head shots of me
![]() |
This is an excellent 3/4 portrait because of the great shadow at the right side of the nose. It makes the nose more promi nent and longer than the nose that is slioghtly shadowed. |

The Blind Men and The Elephant
The Blind Men and The Elephant | by Rogelio for everyone |
The Blind Men and The Elephant
by
John Godfrey Saxe
1
It was six men of Indostan,
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the elephant,
(Though all of them were blind,)
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
2
The first approached the elephant,
And, happening to fall ..
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the elephant
Is very like a wall!"
3
The second, feeling of the tusk, !
Cried: "Ho! what have we here,
So very round, and smooth, and sharp?
"To me 't is very clear, ..
This wonder of an elephant
Is very like a spear!"
4
The third approached the animal,
And, happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up he spake: ,
"I see," quoth he, "the elephant
Is very like a snake!"
5
The fourth reached out his eager hand, .
And felt about the knee:
"What most this wondrous beast is like,
"Is very plain," quoth he;
'T is clear enough the elephant "
Is very like a tree!"
6
The fifth, who chanced to touch the ear,
Said:"Ellen the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most:
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an elephant
Is very like a fan!"
7
The sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the elephant
Is very like a rope ! "
8
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong!
