1926
In this obscure work, Allegra Yarrow examines lunar symbols and their ever-shifting correspondences. “They can only be observed under a full moon,” the author was once heard to say. Rather than offering diagrams, the book leaves it up to the reader to decipher the meanings for themselves. The text is written for readers who are comfortable sitting with ambiguity.
