a fool in the forest

Epigraphs

  • A fool, a fool! I met a fool i' the
        forest,
    A motley fool; a miserable world!
    As I do live by food, I met a fool
    Who laid him down and bask'd him
        in the sun,
    And rail'd on Lady Fortune in good
        terms,
    In good set terms and yet a motley
        fool.

    As You Like It,
    Act II, Scene 7

    L'homme y passe à travers des
        forêts de symboles
    Qui l'observent avec des regards
        familiers.

    Les Fleurs du Mal,
    “Correspondances”

    [T]here is almost no subject-matter, and what little one can disentangle is foolish....
    One would call the style verbose, except that by definition verbosity is the use of words in excess of the occasion, and there seems to be no occasion.

    Yvor Winters,
    Forms of Discovery, Ch. 7

    Not wishing to duck the issue, I must say I never paddle in the same pond as The Donald. I guess every drake could use extra bread crumbs.. Looks like the new Mrs. is getting all her ducks in a row just in case she might need to re-feather her nest. Wonder if there might be a new hatchling in the Trump Brood? One might argue that the past two hens were just barely past ducklinghood themselves...

    Old drakes never die, they just moult.

    To quote another famous waterfowl: "Ho ho, very funny. Ha ha, it is to laugh."

    It's sad though, isn't it, that the Donald and la Melania are forced to work with ducks just to pay their bills?

    Good grebe! Waddle they think of next?
