Heisig story:

The painting of a deer itself with its form and color is enough to fill the bill for an image of something lovely. But to give a bit of contrast, we see two mediocre drawings from a later age on two patches of ceiling above. Note that the drop in mediocre has been lengthened somewhat and the second stroke drawn down straight.

2) [ghinzdra] 16-2-2008(107): Lovely bambi…. pictographe : just take a look at those innocent open eyes (part 1 it's not more far fetched than seeing mediocre in it) with thin eyebrows what a lovely deer …(part 2).
