the bride wears black
home history ask
Here, said she, Is your card, the drowned Phoenician Sailor, (Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!) …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.
— T.S. Eliot, "The Waste Land"
