Once upon a time, in the realm of myth and folklore, a solitary eye told many tales. From Grimm's Fairy Tales, Arthur Rackham's illustration of One-Eye, Two-Eyes, and Three-Eyes, reveals a mysterious and enigmatic character. This eye, with its piercing gaze, was said to belong to a being of great power and mischief. In another tale, the misshapen polyp floated on the shores, a sort of smiling and hideous Cyclops, whose single eye held the power to mesmerize. The Wicked Witch of the West, from L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, met her demise when a bucket of water was poured over her, melting her into a puddle, leaving only her single, malevolent eye behind. Jupiter's thunderbolts struck down the giants, leaving only their cyclops eyes as a reminder of their once terrifying presence. Blind Granny, an engraving from a bygone era, may have lost her sight, but her single, knowing eye held wisdom and insight. In contrast, a man from Gravesend, Mr. L.M. Allen, stroked his beard in a thoughtful pose, his single eye reflecting deep contemplation. The Cyclops, a creature of Greek mythology, was a one-eyed giant, known for its monstrous strength and fierce temper. And finally, a woman winks, playfully revealing her single, alluring eye, holding a secret that only she knows.
