The Puissant Fire (a Stereoscopic Poem)

 

 

 

 INSTRUCTION FOR FUNCTION

Superimpose the two images by straightening your eyes

(yes, you are cross-eyed as you read this)

for horizontal alignment

and tilting your head for vertical alignment.

(tip- the two titles should be superimposed)

 

Read the center (superimposed) image.

The first line should read

"How I love with crooked stick"

 

 

 

 

 here's a smaller image

(in case your screen resolution is so low

that the image above is too large):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

PICTORIAL INSTRUCTION FOR FUNCTION

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a practice picture

from the toy 'Viewmaster'.

Bring the two images together

until your eyes 'lock' on the center image:

 

 

 

 

 

If that doesn't work,

peel this viewmaster disc from the screen

 

 

 and pluck this viewmaster

out of this monitor

 

 

 and enjoy!

Author notes

AP's first (and last?) stereoscopic poem.


(aren't you glad it wasn't an epic?)


History:
Stereoscope Nickelodeon viewers were popular in the late 1800's- the only way 3D photographs could be experienced (using the same technique as the toy Viewmasters today). Two photos would be taken a few feet apart, simulating the distance between our two eyes, then placed in the machine. The viewer's eyes automatically adjusted and saw a 3D landscape.

    You know how I love your works so please don't be mad when I say "WHAT?" LOL I guess this poor little Southern girl just doesn't have the sophistication needed to understand this one. I'm sure it's brillant for what it is. You never do anything less than that. Pen on...
