Always look the bleeding same
It was noticed on TV cop show "The Sweeney" that the same actress appeared in minor roles four or five times - each time playing the wife or mistress of a different criminal. Crooks' wives in East End London all appeared to conform to a hard-bitten heavy-smoking heavily made up and somewhat tarty stereotype.It was like a uniform.

A harvest of life, a harvest of death

Alluded to on the cover of the (much later) Cult Classic album. The album cover shows a weird chapel illustrated in a style akin to turn of the 19th century occult art - very reminiscent of Crowley and the Golden Dawn/OTO.. Two stained glass windows are prominent. One shows the "Summer Lady" walking through a garden by day - the Latin motto underneath is Messis ex Vitae , "A Harvest Of Life.the second shows Death, walking by night with his scythe over his shoulder - his Latin motto is Messis ex Morte. - A Harvest Of Death.
