Since feeling is first,
who pays attention to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you,
wholly to be a fool while spring is in the world
- E.E.Cummings
On the Fool Tarot card, a young man stands on the edge of a cliff or (small step?) we do not know niether does he, without a care in the world, as he sets out on a new adventure. He is gazing upwards toward the sky (and the Universe) and is seemingly unaware that he is about to skip off a precipice into the unknown. Over his shoulder rests a modest knapsack containing everything he needs – which isn’t much (let’s say he’s a minimalist). The white rose in his left hand represents his purity and innocence. And at his feet is a small white dog, representing loyalty and protection, that encourages him to charge forward and learn the lessons he came to learn. The mountains behind the Fool symbolize the challenges yet to come. They are forever present, but the Fool doesn’t care about them right now; he’s more focused on starting his expedition.
This is a basic rider tarot deck!
Now he is the man e.e. Cummings is refering to :)
