This picture by Gustave Gore of Merlin and Vivien shows through the artist presentation the Self and Anima - Merlin and Vivien - as extension of the Tree and the Snake - Vivien winds down as Snake with roots. Tree and Snake are cosmic yin and yang - yin and yang in nature - with Merlin and Vivien as external manifestations into the world; abstractions or charicature forms of cosmic yin and yang. The "inside and the outside":
