Loved this!
I think I like this one best so far.
I like the William Blake one.
Love the Chagal - even more than the previous ladder picture you put on your blog. It is an interesting idea to search for various artistic interpretations of the same idea - might try it myself. The one that springs to instant mind is a comparison between John Nash's "Over the Top" and Picasso's "Guernica" - both in their different ways catch me on the raw.
