Notes

What had happened to me was this - I had been in Driekopseiland in Griqualand West, and there I found strange drawings and strange symbols on the rocks. I had seen hundreds of them, and I had quite an itch to make my very own kind of things. Now what happened was that I filled my sketchbook with them, thousands of them, all kinds of things and then I had the idea to make my own special kind of writing.
