Who would have thought that folksy sayings could offer such a playground for wit? You have mined this vein well! A witty fool is doubly a fool, so his japeries hold up a mirror for the wise. A foolish wit would have us think that japeries are the stuff of wit. You are most definitely a witty fool.
Dear Friend, Poet Denis Mair, so oriented to the 'fewness of words' in adages of all ages, cultures, 'lingoes': I am truly elated to find your ambidextrous comment on my 'Squiggles'. I offer a 'quote' I tried to pass off as a proverb: Some show their wisdom in the choice of their folly. In 1968, I wrote a mini-verse about the first snowfall we saw in Beijing. I still like Arthur Waley, being too illiterate for Li Po, Po Chu-I and many more originals. Madhavan ('noble and cultured horse'?) .
