I know I keep saying this on different threads but here it is marginally appropriate.
I dated a guy whose face and stature
very closely resembled the Knight of Swords. He was mainly of Swiss descent FWIW.
My view of his temperament, by the time I dumped him, was that it closely resembled the temperament of the Knight of Swords depicted here.
So I have mixed feelings, to say the least, about this card (not to mention what it says about me that I was together with the Knight of Swords for three years). Get this, baba: he was a highly cultured man who also was a major collector of Nazi military memorabilia.
This image makes me think of Sylvia Plath's searing poem "
Daddy":
Quote:
Every woman adores a Fascist,
The boot in the face, the brute
Brute heart of a brute like you.

ETA: I just reread "Daddy" and it actually makes a reference to a "Taroc pack." Talk about synchronicity, or perhaps what my college lit teacher called an "irrelevant correlative," which is a snotty way of pooh-poohing synchronicity.
