In divination
Between the alternative readings there is no marriage possible; on the one hand, riches, fortune, magnificence; on the other, physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification. The design gives one suggestion; here is a lord overlooking his dominion and alternately contemplating a globe; it looks like the malady, the mortification, the sadness of Alexander amidst the grandeur of this world's wealth.
Reversed: Surprise, wonder, enchantment, emotion, trouble, fear.
The library's note
Past the Ace's single source, the Two shows a man already established, looking from a battlemented roof over sea and shore, a staff in hand. Waite reads the globe he holds two ways at once, "riches, fortune, magnificence" on one side, "physical suffering, disease, chagrin, sadness, mortification" on the other, and settles on a third note entirely, the "sadness of Alexander amidst the grandeur of this world's wealth." Wands' vitality, two steps into the suit, already meets a dominion large enough to survey but not to satisfy.
