...qualities (moist, dry, cold and warm), and put in harmony with man's organs and appendages (Leo governs the heart; Pisces governs his feet) as well as his temperament (choleric, sanguine, phlegmatic or melancholic), the chart carries the zodiac year on the outer ring, the calendar on the inner ring, to be lined up with the center as a sort of ovaloid slide rule. Behind the Zodiac Man stands a near mirror image of a "Vein Man," another medical illustration, which usually indicates by dots the places appropriate for bleeding...
...calm and cloistered air of 19th century New England, the Sage of Concord tuned his inner ear to the faint, sweet sounds that issued from his Transcendental trees and rocks. If he could hear sky-born music wherever he went, his friends and neighbors were less fortunate; they had to depend on the uncertain efforts of a handful of local groups, supplemented by occasional trips to Boston.

What gives Look Homeward, Angel a vitality laced with truth is how much the Gants seem an actual family, at once riveted and riven-far more than Eugene's romance with a boarder (Frances Hyland) seems an authentic love affair. The long-borne inner tensions snap when at last Eugene turns on his mother-hair-raisingly in Anthony Perkins' performance-for the way she has used and fettered her children...
