Thank you for your patience everyone, but I finally found my Muse. ;) Here is the next Lit. Clue... A Shakespearian Sonnet:
LXXXIII
I never saw that you did painting need,
And therefore to your fair no painting set;
I found, or thought I found, you did exceed
The barren tender of a poet's debt:
And therefore have I slept in your report,
That you yourself, being extant, well might show
How far a modern quill doth come too short,
Speaking of worth, what worth in you doth grow.
This silence for my sin you did impute,
Which shall be most my glory being dumb;
For I impair not beauty being mute,
When others would give life, and bring a tomb.
There lives more life in one of your fair eyes
Than both your poets can in praise devise.
Good Luck!
Guessed so far:
The Fool
The Empress
High Priestess
The Lovers
Temperance
The Moon
The Sun
2 of Swords
2 of Cups
Queen of Cups
King of Cups
8 of Pentacles
9 of Pentacles

The Star
Congratulations, WhiteRaven! You got it!!!
The narrator is in love, obviously... but he seems mesmerized by that love. He is unable to accurately put that beauty into words. Like the Star, this passage has to with a focus of desire, an inspiration (and if you give it a "reversed" meaning, trouble expressing it).
Well, that's my take anyway. :)
You're turn, WhiteRaven!

That's hysterical...I think we were probably typing our posts at similar times...since I didn't see the Star before I posted!!
Happy choosing of the next selection, WR!
Good one, Oakie...

LOL, I'm sure they wouldn't mind if it actually was! This was undoubtedly far and away the quickest one of my puzzles has ever been solved and people are probably starting to rue the times I win.
