Earlier this week, I overheard a conversation wherein one of the persons stated a common phrase...but backwards:

Into rain, a little life must fall.

The two laughed and the one re-stated the phrase the "normal" way:

Into every life, a little rain must fall.

BUT...doesn't the backwards way hold meaning, too?



What about this one backwords?

The beholder is in the eye of beauty.

Usually stated:

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Thoughts?

You are playing with our minds, Cort.

To behold true beauty, you need not an eye.

Every silver lining has a cloud.
