Cover
During the summer of 1965, Barrett had his first acid trip in the garden of friend, Dave Gale, with Ian Moore and Storm Thorgerson. While on the influence of the acid, Barrett had placed an orange, plum and a matchbox into a corner, while staring at the fruit, which he claimed symbolized "Venus and Jupiter". Thorgerson later used this imagery, by adding the previously mentioned items to the cover of Syd Barrett.

you are lifted up,
aye though it hiss
to cover you with froth.”
