[swimming in tarot]

Well, there are cards in various combinations of melancholy, poignant, atmospheric, eerie, grotesque, worrisome, unexplainably unsettling, and with implied twisted stories behind appearances, but the ONE card that really gets me is the Knight of Swords. There isn't a lot of leeway for a positive interpretation on that one, I'm afraid. He just looks a bottomless pit of cruelty and hatred chosen of his own free will.
