The painting “Beguiling Lore”‚ embodies a raven‚ an egg attached to a string‚ and a back ground with varying colors. The line work of this painting seems to differ between the main subject and the background.

philosophically problematic. The raven paradox is a famous example. The hypothesis that ’all ravens are black’ would appear to be corroborated by observations of only black ravens. However‚ ’all ravens are black’ is logically equivalent to ’all non-black things are non-ravens’ (this is the contraposition form of the original implication). ’This is a green tree’ is an observation of a non-black thing that is a non-raven and therefore corroborates ’all non-black things are non-ravens’. It appears to follow that

stories give away the plots or endings‚ where others are completely abstract and thought provoking‚ providing no clue as to what the story will be about.
