Original artwork, not a still
Things are seldom what they seem (song) from H.M.S. Pinafore
Black sheep dwell in every fold; All that glitters is not gold; Storks turn out to be but logs; Bulls are but inflated frogs.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
These verses list familiar cases of deceptive appearances: flocks hide black sheep, glittering things may not be gold, storks may prove to be logs, and bulls mere puffed-up frogs. The playful catalogue insists that surface impressions cannot be trusted.
