Would that I could bend the will of monarchs with the clowning wit of a Court Jester. Would that I could elicit childlike laughter like a circus clown. Would that I could provoke epiphanies like a genuine Holy Fool.

I think that in some parts of the world there are no jester to rule the king. The fool is the one ruling and he listens to no one (least of all poets)
