A Closer Look

I hopped down from the sofa cushion onto the coffee table to stretch my legs and found an open book basking in the morning light. Resting right across the center crease was a pair of tortoiseshell reading glasses. Stepping up to the curved lens, I had to stop and chuckle—the printed text underneath had suddenly swelled to five times its normal size! I nudged the temple arm slightly with my elbow to get a cleaner angle, then tilted my head to inspect a colossal serif on the capital letter 'B'. It looked rather like a grand black archway from down here, wouldn't you say?
