Click hereFools used not to come cheap. Prized highly
by kings and commoners, a true fool would
know his worth well. He was no blatherer; his
pranks stemmed from a deep awareness of all
the misery of the times, from a sense of
compassion. His mirth took the bite
away from the prevailing sarcasm of an
unfriendly cosmos - the old, grim riders;
ignorance - and held up a mirror to
the monarch's high-handedness. Surely colourful
but not gaudy a fool's occupation was
respectable indeed. But now only blunt
derision is the fool's part - we want no pictures
of our own failures bar soaps, and fondly think
our modern age has mastered misery.
