Magic eye: «The Lord of the Rings». Gollum
The Lord of the Rings is an epic high fantasy novel written by philologist J. R. R. Tolkien.
Gollum is a fictional character from J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. He was first introduced in the author's fantasy novel The Hobbit, and later became an important supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings.
Gollum speaks in an unusual manner, usually speaking in the first person plural when referring to himself. He also uses his own versions of words similar to the original words. For instance, he would say "tricksy" in lieu of tricky. He usually adds -es to the end of a plural, resulting in words such as "hobbitses" instead of hobbits or "birdses" instead of birds.
Magic eye: Butterflies. Count them
The today's picture is devoted the most beautiful insects - to butterflies.
It is interesting, that in an antiquity the butterfly was a symbol of immortality of soul (Psyche), and its exit from a doll was equated to clearing of soul of a body at the moment of death. In works of art Psyche it is represented generally with wings of the butterfly. The god of a dream (Hypnosis) also is represented with wings of the butterfly on a head as the dream is considered periodic clearing of soul of terrestrial bonds.
