The Unicorn in the Garden

• Unicorn
• A unicorn (from Latin unus 'one' and cornu
  'horn') is a mythological creature. Though the
  modern popular image of the unicorn is sometimes
  that of a horse differing only in the horn on its
  forehead, the traditional unicorn also has a
  billy-goat beard, a lion's tail, and cloven
  hoovesthese distinguish it from a horse.
  Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the
  Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast
  that does not seem to have been conceived out of
  human fears. In even the earliest references he
  is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, and
  always mysteriously beautiful. He could be
  captured only by unfair means, and his single
  horn was said to neutralize poison."

• A straitjacket is a garment shaped like a jacket
  with overlong sleeves. The ends of these can be
  tied to the back of the wearer, so that the arms
  are kept close to the chest with possibility of
  only little movement.
• Although straitjacket is the most common form,
  strait-jacket is also frequently used, and in
  England, strait-waistcoat (archaic). The
  spellings straightjacket and straight-jacket are
  erroneous, when in fact, "strait" means "tight"
  or "narrow". Straitjackets are also known as
  camisoles.

• Straight-jacket
• The negative connotations straitjackets have as
  an instrument of torture come from the earlier
  era of Victorian medicine. Physical restraint was
  then extensively used both as treatment for
  mental illness and as a means of pacifying
  patients in understaffed asylums.
• Institutional straitjackets tend to be made of
  canvas or duck cloth (linen canvas) for material
  strength. Jackets intended as fetish wear or
  fashion items often use leather or PVC instead.
