A metaphorical statement is not often seen in its literal sense, graphically displayed--especially in mathematics. But I did stumble across this example in the 15 June 1885 issue of Punch, or the London Charivari. It was used to illustrate an inglorious poem on an inglorious topic that we don't need to go into just now, but the tail-piece does exhibit the curious image of being buried by numbers.
