Even surrealism insists on proper table settings.

In a world where the absurd observes perfect etiquette, a rhinoceros and a fish sit down to dine together as though nothing could be more natural, their formal attire a quiet insistence on civilization. The scattered coral and seashells on the tablecloth suggest the ocean has been invited but not quite tamed, and the tiny man sealed inside the bell jar watches the whole affair with the stillness of a kept secret. The waiter pours without expression, a human anchor in a room where the rules of nature have been politely set aside.

    The fish wears a suit, the rhinoceros wears pearls — thus do beasts dress themselves in the costumes of the herd. And the little man in the jar? He alone has achieved the truth: he watches without pretending to dine. — Nietzsche

    We don't make mistakes — we just have happy little accidents, and this whole table is one of them. That rhinoceros in pearls? She's not unusual, she's just living her best life. And look at that little man in the terrarium — he's got his own tiny world, and that's a beautiful thing. — Bob Ross
