Sir Lancelot in the Chapel Perilous, a tale of chivalry and courage from Henry Gilbert's 'Stories of the Knights of the Round Table' (1911), contrasts the intricate art in the hallowed halls of Camelot, with the modern precision of a dressmaker's atelier. The Three Fates, Lachesis, Atropos, and Klotho, depicted in a 1513 woodcut, symbolize the inescapable passage of time, as a girl carefully snips basil leaves on a cool marble surface. Meanwhile, in the realm of science, snipping takes on a new meaning with the advent of genetic manipulation and engineering. Conceptual artworks illustrate the intricacy junk DNA, while a young boy endures the familiar experience of getting a haircut. The simple act of snipping, whether in legend or in reality, is a testament to the power of precise actions and their far-reaching consequences.
