Comedy, humor and wit make distances between our minds and the object perceived, so why not treat the monstrosities developed (in more ways than one) in the mental darkrooms as comic? Then, when we have to get down to the dead seriousness that underlies the comedy (like Hermia's choice between untenable marriage and exile in Midsummer Night's Dream) the distancing will afford a truer perspective and consequent ability to deal with what the somnolence of the porters has allowed to grow.LowlyWisenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4605042465598890784.post-48137784253489713232010-08-15T16:22:19.947-07:002010-08-15T16:22:19.947-07:00Afternoon Christian,
