I think if someone did this for me I’d cry with happiness and then ask them to marry me and let me love them forever.

               ”Madame Sosostris, famous clairvoyante, / Had a bad cold, nevertheless / Is known to be the wisest woman in Europe, / With a wicked pack of cards.  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 round in a ring. / Thank you.  If you see dear Mrs. Equitone, / Tell her I bring the horoscope myself: / One must be so careful these days.”

The cards pictured are from the Vertigo Tarot, and represent the three authentic Tarot cards mentioned in this passage from TS Eliot’s The Waste Land.  The others were invented by Eliot to suit his purpose.  Brief discussion of this passage and the roles of the cards can be found here.  See also Eliot’s notes to his poem, esp I.46.
