Footnote For "Dash Your Brains"


Opie's version is slightly different, mainly in the last word.

Tho' here you lodge with me this Night,
You shall not see the Morning Light,
My club shall dash your Brains out quite!

Celtic Spiral Graphics

These images represent the Celtic fascination with spiral designs. Some of these show a remarkable similarity to Ying–Yang symbology of China, which I emphasize in the Wilson designs by color that I have supplied. I also recolored the spiral from Owen Jones, page 65, as spiral–01.gif,, a variation of oj–65–09.gif. This was an experiment to clean up scanned colors to produce a more solid, more graphic design.

The thumbnail represents a 60 pixel representative portion of the design. The size of the full scale image is also given in pixels, width by height.
