Poor, I was an inventor, a creator, the true magician; protected, patronized, enriched, I am but the alchemist, the bubble, the dupe or duper, the fool's fool. God, brace up my limbs! Let me escape! give me back my old dream, and die at least, if accomplishing nothing, hoping all!" He rose as he spoke; he strode across the chamber with majestic step, with resolve upon his brow.
I have not much to gain; and now that I have read this paper, and the last of a fool's paradise is shattered, it would be hyperbolical to speak of loss in the same breath with Otto of Grünewald. I have no party, no policy; no pride, nor anything to be proud of. For what benefit or principle under Heaven do you expect me to contend? Or would you have me bite and scratch like a trapped weasel?
At home she was rarely permitted such an indulgence, for, whenever she looked in the polished metal-disk, Semestre used to say: "If a girl often peers into such useless things, she'll certainly see a fool's image in them."
"I would try to do my duty," she said, in a choked voice. "Silly child, don't cry. And how, if after these fool's tricks it turns out that the other young spark is bound to that red-faced little spitfire and cannot have you?" "Papa, don't!" she cried.
"I have been poor for a long time poor compared with what I was. Most of my money has gone on the fool's way. I haven't come here to lament over it. It's one of my rules never, if I can help it, to think of the past. What has been, has been; and what will be, will be.
Charity had dwelt in a fool's paradise of trust in Peter Cheever for a while, then had dropped back into a fool's purgatory of doubt, where she wandered bewildered. Now she was thrown into the fool's hell. She knew that her love had been betrayed. Everybody else knew it and was wondering how she would act. Charity was sick. This was really more than she had bargained for.
They're too many fer you, and if you'll all take a fool's advice you'll keep away, or else some of you will be looking through a griddle in a door up at the penitentiary." Farley made no reply, only hid his face and groaned at every extracted shot. "Say, kid, what about this gang you belong to?" The boy shook his head. "D'ye mean to say you're not going to tell me about it?" The boy nodded.
It would be better to teach us at once that life is intended to be hard and plain and without tenderness or truth, than to lead our souls into a fool's paradise!" Then all at once I remembered the dark Phantom of the night and its transformation into the Vision of an Angel.
'I would thy mare had been poisoned ere she drew thee hither on such a fool's errand! I want neither thee nor thy mare, and yet I may not let you go! 'A moment more, and it had been an exploit, and no fool's errand, my lord. 'Then the fool's cap would have been thine, Eccles. How earnest thou to let him out? Thou a warder, and ope gate and up portcullis 'twixt waking and sleeping!
The author of this book, when a boy, stood in the same class with one of the greatest of dunces. One teacher after another had tried his skill upon him and failed. Corporal punishment, the fool's cap, coaxing, and earnest entreaty, proved alike fruitless.
