- ...Here, said she,
- Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor,
- (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!)
- Here is Belladonna, the Lady of the Rocks,
- The lady of situations.
- Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,
- And here is the one-eyed merchant , and this card,
- Which is blank, is something he carries on his back,
- Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find
- The Hanged Man. Fear death
by water.
- I see crowds of people, walking around in a ring. 16
