| | Unicorns are able to judge if that person is true to their heart, if they are to be trusted...if they will prove to be a true friend. | | | Maybe the trick is to instill in the Unicorn a wish to seek out the human who wants to gaze upon it with his or her very own eyes. | | | Conversely, the Unicorn also appears as the personification of evil in the Book of Isaiah. |

| | Extracts from the books of Alice Bailey related to the sign of Capricorn |
| | This sign portrays to us man, an ambitious animal in two senses of the word: in the early stage upon [Page 154] the Mutable Cross, man, the blend of desire (water) and the animal nature (earth), and upon the reversed wheel, man, the blend of soul and form. | | | First of all, Capricorn is an earth sign, and in it we have expressed the densest point of concrete materialisation of which the human soul is capable. | | | Under the symbolism of the above creatures, this sign gives us a rather complete picture of man with his feet upon the earth, yet running free and climbing to the heights of worldly ambition or of spiritual aspiration in search of what he realises (at any particular time) to be his major need. |

| | For those of us who grew up in the late 60s and early 70s the years between 1969 and 1974 were the golden years in fantasy literature. | | | Although the series was based on the success of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, most of the books were classics predating Tolkien and owing nothing to his influence. | | | His best illustration must surely be for The King of Elfland's Daughter. |

| | Both a gothic horror story and a heartbreaking character study, "The Unicorn" is quite possibly one of the best novels published in the english language in the latter part of the century. | | | The story alternates characters through whom we see the story in its different parts: Marian, a teacher who comes to Gaze Castle and Effingham who's in love with 3 different women at different times, and who, through profuse self-analysis, is able to talk himself out of each of them. | | | The Unicorn was written after these, but still about the middle of Murdoch's oeuvre. |

| | Corwin tried to capture the creature, but finally had to kill him when the guy wouldn't surrender. | | | Searching Caine's body, he found a handwritten message from Corwin (at least that was the name written at the bottom) asking Caine to meet him secretly at the Grove of the Unicorn. | | | But all of his family have certain magical abilities that could complicate the issue, so he can't count on the rifles to intimidate everyone into kissing his foot if he tries to put a crown on his own head. |

| | By the way - the "Sign of the Unicorn" spoken of in the song is a reference to Lancelot, the "unicorn" bred by Morninglory and Father Otter a few years previously. | | | Many of us in the pagan community were quite excited about this at the time and took it as a sign that wicca, paganism and the goddess religion would soon be stepping out of the closet and onto the streets. | | | If not directly borrowed, they were certainly inspired by his books. |
