My view of the card:
This is one of the most beautiful Lovers cards I have seen in any deck, because of the great emotion expressed in the faces of the couple portrayed. We see a light woman and a dark man. He has his back turned to us, and his left arm is around the woman, at breast-level, while her right arm seems to want to reach out to him. We cannot see their other arms, but we could imagine that they are holding hands. They are standing very gracefully, their bodies curving together. They gaze to the left, and seem to be looking at some spot on the ground, but both their faces look towards the left, so they are parallel. The image conveyed is of serene acceptance: they don’t need to look at each other, their love goes beyond appearances. They also know they have made the right choice, and don’t need to have that second look. That way, they concentrate on the world around them.

The two figures are surrounded by blindfolded figures. One is an angel, and the other two seem to be human figures. Love is blind... But also, be careful of the choices you make. Sometimes it’s necessary to take off the blindfold.

From the book:
"The Lovers stand together, united in their deep intimacy, yet separated by a pensive detachment. Inspired by an image of Eve and Adam by Tamara de Lempicka, the couple touch but are drawn inward and do not look at each other. Even in the embrace of the beloved, we are alone with our thoughts. She is light and he is dark. This contrast conform to the artistic conventions of many cultures, including those of ancient India and Greece, but also differs from the customary feminine-dark, masculine-light opposition of many cosmologies. Amor, god of love, flies over the heads of the two lovers, pointing his bow and arrow of passion. Beside the lovers are small cupids, male and female, who hold up parti-colored hearts. They are blindfolded because love is blind, unconcerned with circumstances. Similarly, the Lovers can become so involved in each other that they can become blind to the outside world. In the uper left corner a rising sun has appeared over a cityscape, showing that a new morning is dawning for the lovers. Here is cause for new hope, evidence that love has survived night and that affection and commitment have been renewed. Comforting birds and fertile fish cavort in the background, and Amor himself emerges from the mouth of a fish, the endpoint of a fish-chain like that of the Magician. The Lovers are nourished by the natural fertility of the world, and the love they create together feeds the world soul in turn."

Meaning
"The Lovers rejoice in their union; love radiates from them and illuminates all their surroundings. Affection, friendship, attraction, romance, courtship, marriage -- all the stages of sweet partnership spring from the Lovers. Eros of all kinds, from the primal impulses of the body to the highest aspirations of the soul, is the province of this card. Sometimes there are dangers of unhappy, unrequited, or ill-fated love. Love, though, is our greatest joy and duty in life, and the Lovers bless all our amorous pleasures and strengthen us in our striving for meaningful, fulfilled affection."
