A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.
WILLIAM BLAKE, Proverbs of Hell
Lord, what fools these mortals be!
- This fellow is wise enough to play the fool;
- And to do that well craves a kind of wit:
- He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
- The quality of persons, and the time,
- And, like the haggard, cheque at every feather
- That comes before his eye. This is a practise
- As full of labour as a wise man's art
- For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
- But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
