— Søren Kierkegaard, “Diapsalmata” from Either/Or.
"Academic Probation"
[waugh]
[ED: N.B. the Dictionary.com word of the day...]
A fire broke out backstage in a theatre. The Clown came out to warn the public; they thought it was a joke and applauded. He repeated it; the acclaim was even greater. I think that's just how the world will come to an end: to general applause from wits who believe it's a joke.
— Søren Kierkegaard, “Diapsalmata” from Either/Or.
