Nine of Wands - Seven of Swords
the angst of his criminal self
the angst of - Nine of Wands
his criminal self - Seven of Swords
Nine of Wands is sweating it out. He is guarding that spot on the border all by himself. He is nursing a head wound from the previous time the enemy attacked. Angst is a good word for what this man is feeling.
Seven of Swords is stealing enemy weapons, and stealing is a crime, so naturally Seven of Swords can appear for a criminal ... criminal person, or a criminal act....
