Perhaps the card of the Hanged Man is an iconographic cypher, reminding us of the same thing. In death there is rebirth, whether we wish it or not. Willy-nilly, which is to say "will he [or] nil he," he is born again; held aloft by the midwife's firm clutch, his umbilicus wrapped around his neck in a hangman's noose, as that which both suffocates life and delivers it.
