Ecnalubma-- exactly, that's the point. Got you thinking, didn't it? You know what it is when you normally read the lettering in your rear-view mirror, which is the closest view most people get of an ambulance; and then one day when you face the hood without a mirror, suddenly it looks-- backwards, and mysterious. But you're seeing it for the first time the "right " way.

CS Lewis mentions it in THe Last Battle, when he talks about catching a glimpse of outdoors in your dresser-mirror-- the glimpse is more fascinating, and somehow for a moment more real.
