    It is a very clever recursive metaphor for this famous hymn from Ishawashya Upanishad of the Vedas:

    “O Almighty!
    You are the infinite; the universe is infinite.
    From infinite the infinite has come.
    Taken from the infinite, the infinite remains. O Almighty!
    May there be Peace. Peace! Everywhere!”

    PS: It's also the first half of a palindrome R R C C L R : R L C C R R that J S Bach used in the Ricercar a 6 in Musikalisches Opfer based on a theme given to him by Frederick the Great of Prussia.

    Good guess Roger!

    I don't watch TV. :(

    I did get reacquainted with these puzzles due to your post. Some are easy and most are very clever. I tried to think of an original one just now with no luck.

    I recall seeing these on tokens and medals, particularly political Americana. Perhaps a member could show us an example. Bill?

    "Rebus" was the brother of Romulus. They were visitors from the planet Romulus who founded the Roman Kingdom and also opened the first McDonald's on the Via Apia.

    "Rebus" was the brother of Romulus.

    Actually, Romulus' brother was named Reamus. He was the first coin dealer. ;)
