A reminder that Bosch is a genius, from Eduardo Galleano's "Mirrors: Stories of Almost Everyone"
“A condemned man shits gold coins.
Another hangs from an immense key.
The knife has ears.
The harp plays the musician.
Fire freezes.
The pig wears a nun’s habit.
Inside the egg lives death.
Machines run people.
Each nut dwells in his own world.
No one meets up with anyone.
All are running nowhere.
They have nothing in common, save fear of each other.
“Five centuries ago, Hieronymus Bosch painted globalization,” to quote John Berger.”
(Eduardo Galleano, 108)
