Legend
The two goats having mingled halters may refer to the following proverb: "He who ties up goats will have knotted ropes." (1) Think before you act. (2) When two people are too close or married (like attached goats), this may lead to problems (knotted ropes). (3) Malicious rumours and gossip (the knots) can interfere with two people who are close (attached goats).
