@Senex_Press The wonderful 1939 version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame" opens with a rousing depiction of the Feast of Fools with Quasimodo being crowned the "King of Fools."

Wishing Senex author Jean-Luc Beauchard had X just so he could enjoy this tweet. We might have to print it and send it to him.
You think Plato would have allowed Cormac McCarthy a single minute among the poets welcomed back into his ideal City in Speech? No, I'm afraid he would be out on the outskirts of town down on his knees polishing the leather on Homer's sandals

"Bacchus Agonistes is a book that will inspire laughter among some readers, pity among others, and entertain more than a few. It is worth a read, and I would recommend it." Which kind of reader are you? Check out today's review in the @Montreal_Review

"Every life that is preoccupied with being like others is a wasted life, a lost life." Who is better than Kierkegaard?
“Why is it that people prefer to be addressed in groups rather than individually? Is it because conscience is one of life's greatest inconveniences, a knife that cuts too deeply? We prefer to ‘be part of a group,’ and to ‘form a party,’ for if we are part of a group it means goodnight to conscience. We cannot be two or three, a ‘Miller Brothers and Company’ around a conscience. No, no. The only thing the group secures is the abolition of conscience. It is the same with busyness. A person can very well eat lettuce before it has formed a heart, yet the tender delicacy of the heart and its lovely coil are something quite different from the leaves. Likewise, in the world of spirit, busyness, keeping up with others, hustling hither and yon, makes it almost impossible for an individual to form a heart, to become a responsible, alive self. Every life that is preoccupied with being like others is a wasted life, a lost life. A sparrow, a fly, a poisonous insect is an object of God's concern. It is not a wasted or lost life. But masses of mimickers, a crowd of copycats are wasted lives. God has been merciful to us, demonstrating his grace to the point of being willing to involve himself with every person. If we prefer to be like all the others, this amounts to high treason against God. We who simply go along are guilty, and our punishment is to be ignored by God.” Kierkegaard.
