What you can see

A child sits on a horse before a wall and sunflowers, holding a large flowing banner. A sun with a face fills the sky.

What Waite says

Waite contrasts direct spiritual consciousness with the Moon’s reflected light. The child represents simplicity and innocence within his account of renewal; the explanation extends beyond ordinary happiness.
