Lizard Knows Nothing

Lizard knows nothing... listens, alert, poised ... in a world, as noted in new report by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS), entering "a highly volatile security environment". 

 

 For in and out, above, about, below,
 'Tis nothing but a Magic Shadow-show,
    Play'd in a Box whose Candle is the Sun,
 Round which we Phantom Figures come and go. 

                                — Omar Khayyám

 

Simply, Lizard knowing in the Nothing ... warming to the new day.

 

I love the small lizards, as dry as the stones where they run. They are like me, of skin and bone.
— Albert Camus, Notebook IX (1959); Camus (1913-1960) was born in Algeria

 

A faded red ochre painted double circle encompasses Lizard.

A circle, not nothing, larger than the circumference of its parts.
