A Carl Sandberg passage that spoke to me of fire signs, Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius, through Fire the Goat's murmuring in his sleep. Early on, I did all my work connected with and inspired by text, integrated with calligraphic text (or "lettering" -- I have no idea what that would be called today). This image would probably be better off on the page of linocuts, as an older woodcut is there.

I did a lot of work studying the Tarot, the Kabballah (Caballah -- variety of spellings), the Tree of Life, Astrology, from about 1969 through 1975...actually the first ones, the intuitive astrological drawings were about 1969 I think. It seemed like I did these earlier than that and did them for a longer period of time, but the Tarot Cards were in about 1969-1971; the trees about 1971-1972, so it was really a relatively short period of time that I worked on these, a lot, all around the same time.
