From the Deirdre of the Sorrows Tarot, the Knight of Cups; from the Victorian Flower Oracle, Pansy:
All knights are on the move, seeking to find or create what motivates them. With the Knight of Cups, that would be love and beauty. Yet does he fall for an ideal or the actual person or thing of beauty? I fear that his attraction is based on an inner model of perfection, which will last only as long as the glamour holds him in sway. Then this Knight will take Tennessee Williams advice: "There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go." Pansy seems to live in the same fantasy world as he does. In Victorian times, this flower represented forbidden love between secret lovers (not something that is likely to end well). They both might learn something from the lotus; it spends time in the muck and mud as a seed and over time rises through the water to eventually bloom in the sun. Genuine love goes through the same cycles.
