"Schoolyard Bully!" is what I most often read about this card,
but isn't that just one interpretation, and based upon what?
The fact that the tall, brave, rugged and handsome figure
standing there alone with his bright red, wind-tossed hair
is smiling... but maybe he has every right to smile today,
he's won a bloodless victory! He's won five noble swords.
Sure we see a distant figure hanging his head as if crying,
but isn't that more like the behaviour of a vanquished foe,
agonized by frustrated plans ~ and see the middle figure,
doesn't he seem to be looking upon his erstwhile companion
as if he's thinking, thanks a lot for getting us into this trouble.
The brave and dashing figure of the man featured on this card
strikes me as a noble hero, in the fashion of Robin Hood or a
Celtic Chieftain. He's won the day, and a bloodless victory too!
