POETIC SPACE / EGGSHELL

I'm thinking that the eggshell is unique in the nature. It has most geometric shape among the objects that are made from the lives. I wonder how it's shape is formed without the mystery.

    An egg must go out now.
    So wear the shell.
    Lives have already left the sea.
    So wearing the spherical sea.
    To visit the world with the ancient memory.

      lathe { cubic_spline 8,
        <-0.255, 0.12>, <0.00, 0.00>,<0.255, 0.12>, <0.370, 0.38>, <0.32, 0.70>, <0.175, 0.92>, <0.00, 1.00>, <-0.175, 0.92>
        scale <18, 18, 18> translate <0, -8, 0>
        }

    When the eggshell was broken,
    Flyed out the hope and the dream and the courage
    and all from the shell to the world.
    But I saw only the emptiness remainning in the shell in me.

      intersection {
        object { Egg }
        object { Egg scale 0.96 inverse }
        merge { Boxes }
        }

    My rib was scooped out
    to be created her.
    So we are living
    with crossing her rib and my rib.
    How shinning we are?

      #declare Coil = isosurface {
        function {"helix1", <1, -0.8, 1.4, 1.3, 1.5, 1, 0.25>}
        bounded_by {box {<-2.5, -9, -2.5>, <2.5, 9, 2.5>}}
        eval scale < 5, 1, 5 > translate < 0, 1, 0 > no_shadow
        }
      intersection {
        object { Egg }
        object { Egg scale 0.95 inverse }
        object { Coil }
        }
    I drew Coil by Mr. Suzuki's isosurface patched POV-Ray 3.0.

An allegory named Coils / 21k / Feb. 1998 / by Tsutomu Higo

    Weather crisis resulted to a catharsis
    which swept away all human beings.
    After several hundred years an egg broke
    to create a forest to bring up the new master of the nature.

      intersection {
        object { blob {threshold 0.5 #include "corlblob.inc" sturm } texture{ T_Glass2 } rotate -90*x scale <.09, .03, .09> translate <0, 0, 8> }
        box { < -50, -50, -50>, < 50, 50, 0> }
        }
    I used coral.inc by Mr. Lj Lapre, thanks.
