zodiac signs, with palm tree


Walking across campus today, the light was just right to see the mosaics on the entrance to our main library.  The signs of the zodiac arch across - only it's as though the designer ran out of space, or fishy enthusiasm, because one Piscean fish is squashed, rather grudgingly, at the bottom here.  It just struck me that maybe I should look to see if its counterpart is swimming in the opposite direction at the foot of the other side of this arch - that would be a very apposite break/continuum in the design.  I'll check - but for all I know, it's been fried in batter and eaten.
