Quoted from p184 of R.&.E Kaplan's The Art of the Infinite: our lost language of numbers, 2003, isbn 07139-9629-3 '"Mathematicians are like Frenchmen," Goethe once said; "whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different."' ;)

The Hanged Man?

hmph. I have a few ideas.... my first guess is the Chariot? Taking control, taking the reins... doing things your own way, etc.

That's an adorable quote, jmd. :) Je ne sais pas, a translator... someone who navigates between two worlds? some sort of psychopompe... the magician as hermes would have been good, temperance for that matter too, ooh, also the Hanged Man would have been good, especially in his guise as "traditore"-- they say to traduire est trahir, to translate is to betray.... but since they're all already taken, how bout... master of transformation... Death?

Well done Dark_angel... and thanks for that wonderful reflected analysis, firemaiden: XII the Hanged Man it is :)

Wow! I think that's the first one of yours I've got right, JMD. I'll try to come up with one tonight. xxx
