Huizinga, Carson, and Tarot de Paris

"Huizinga reminds us that war itself is a form of divination." Anne Carson in The Beauty of the Husband,  one of my favorites in my Carson collection. Good she got the Nobel for literature, in spite of some fools claiming devastation, as if an earthquake hit them. If fools could stand corrected, I'd say to them, 'fools, know your place.' As it is with fools, though, it would be a waste of my breath. Carson knows a lot of things about breath, eros, desire, and longing. She also knows a lot about fools. Congratulations to her, here in company of her book and my Tarot de Paris, featuring the Pope sending off his Knight of Coins to find love.
