Evan Hunter Happy New Year, Herbie and other stories

this is for

Peter Schwed

Here is the man with three staves, and here the Wheel,

And here is the one-eyed merchant, and this card,

Which is blank, something he carries on his back,

Which I am forbidden to see. I do not find

The Hanged Man. Fear death by water.

I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.

Thank you. If you see dear Mrs. Equitone,

Tell her I bring the horoscope myself:

One must be so careful these days.

— T. S. Eliot
