Searching for images related to the allegorical story about people in
hell trying to feed themselves with long-handled spoons that can't be
turned to reach their mouths.  This results in the realization that
the long-handled spoons may be turned away from themselves so they may
feed each other and they find themselves in heaven.

Greetings July6:

An image of a solitary long-handled spoon (in relation to this
allegory) is located at
http://www.possib.com/parabolas/poet_heaven_hell.asp but there are no
humans represented.

Spoon-fed images are at the following sites but not in relation to the allegory:

I've not time to view all of Hieronymus Bosch's paintings regarding
Hell but there may be an image among his renditions of suffering
representing the spoon allegory.

If you decide to create your own image, may I suggest finding a couple
of those "fork and spoon" sets that are used for decoration in homes
and setting up your own "feeding" photo.

Good luck.
