Fool's play
Posted: November 13th, 2011, 12:40 pm
The privileged fool
is a fool through indulgence,
the popular fool
is a fool through capacity.
Excess is no proof of capacity
glut is no proof of indulgence
>> this way to the lunatic <<
The string that connects
and separates the mask
to and from the puppet,
that social power line
that collects and dispenses favor
which distinguishes the king
from the peasant,
the line that separates
master from slave,
is madness itself!
to cross it is heroic,
to define it
is to play the fool.
is a fool through indulgence,
the popular fool
is a fool through capacity.
Excess is no proof of capacity
glut is no proof of indulgence
>> this way to the lunatic <<
The string that connects
and separates the mask
to and from the puppet,
that social power line
that collects and dispenses favor
which distinguishes the king
from the peasant,
the line that separates
master from slave,
is madness itself!
to cross it is heroic,
to define it
is to play the fool.
