This may relate to Yoko Ono song lyrics:

 

“We’re all water from separate ponds,

Some day we’ll all evaporate together.”

 

It’s a testament to Ono’s genius that I can remember these lines after 40 years.

Though I can’t imagine how she and VN would have reacted to each other.

McCartney, on the other hand, is a documented VN fan as in he sent him a fan letter.

At the risk of deviation, a related work but of debatable genius was on
show at a recent UK exhibition of Yoko Ono's art. She offered a long shelf
with 50 or so identical clear-glass bottles each filled with water and each
labeled with the name of a celebrity. I enjoyed Magritte's explanation
(thanks for the rare link, Jim) but failed to follow Yoko's during her
TV interview.

PS: Can anyone confirm my feeling that Charlie Chaplin used a simple
walking stick as his tramp's prop, rather than an umbrella which tends
to have bourgeois associations?
