What does Nietzsche really mean by it.I think when he says, "When you gaze long into the abyss,the abyss also gazes into you.",he means when you dwell on nihilism/meaninglessness,it consumes you.Do I have it right?Is there more to the quote?

. It is framed in a velvet shadow box and then framed with a gesso gold gilt frame. Painting: 6 by 8 inches. It appears to be a very thin photographic image that has been pasted to the canvass and then been colored with oil paints. The lifting image on the canvass has canvass texture on the back side and if you look at the painting from the front the actual canvass texture can be seen on the photographic painting "what ever it is" The frame has the following writing on the inside: 1 - 6036 L or 2 followed by 185T P15642. The lady appears to be wearing a royal red cloke with white and black trim and has a simple crown with a 6 pointed star.

I have WWII ration books 1-4 and would like to know what each stamp allowed you to buy. Each book has a different set of stamps. I have looked all over the internet and have found explanations of how the rationing work during the way, but not how the stamps themselves worked. Who can help me?
