Angela Carter Quote

But the Countess herself is indifferent to her own weird authority. Shebelieves that, by ignoring it, she can abnegate it. More than anything, shewould like to be human; but she does not know if that is possible. TheTarot always shows the same configuration: always she turns up La Papesse, Le Mort, Le Tour Abolie, wisdom, death, dissolution.
