The Tower

La Tour

Original French

Tour seule : Santé et longue vie. Tour de nuages entourée Prédit : ta joie est menacée.

English

A tower alone means health and long life. A tower surrounded by clouds predicts that your joy is threatened.

The reading carried by the verse

The tower standing clear offers endurance. Encircled by clouds, its protection becomes isolation and threatened joy.

Is this boundary protecting you, or isolating you?

Translator's note: The final noun appears to be “joie,” though the handwriting is faint.
