I found this description while browsing around the internet. It's a description of the Astrological 12th House and the whole phrasing of "looking upward and outward" brought me right back to the LWB interpretation here.
Memory is like a cemetary of illusions. No matter where you turn your head, look upward and forward!
Quote:
. The Twelfth House: The twelfth house is where consciousness dawns - the house of the rising Sun. This is the indeterminate state - the chaos before the new impulse - where all is yet unfulfilled potentialities. Traditionally this is the house of 'sacrifice', and is often connected with prisons, betrayal and self-undoing. Although we can choose to become trapped and frustrated by the many obstructions to attaining our dreams, we can also choose to reach outward and upward to a more fulfilled state, transcending the usual down-dragging conditions and rising above difficulties - thus establishing a life nearer our ideal. Here in the twelfth house we have the capacity to attain liberation by using our visionary scope and working creatively with life's intangibles - the power of imagination!

Could this be the one who dies - Patrick? - in Death, and who appears as a ghost in the background of the Temperance card??
Ha! Furthermore, could he represent 'EGO"??
Just a thought I'll throw out there - what if this is a story about a man finding his feminine side and Ludy Lescot is his 'unconscious' self? Hmm.. I'll have to think about that some more, not sure here but thought I'd share. Ideas?
