somedays you feel like an animal in a carnival [saint-saëns - carnival of the animals]

Attend to wisdom's call, for in life's grand masquerade, myriad masks doth parade, each a tapestry woven with hues both fair and foul. As Saint-Saëns' symphony, "The Carnival of the Animals," doth play its merry tune, so too doth life unveil its jesters and jests, its solemn tragedians and merry clowns. Oft, amidst the revelry of this earthly carnival, we glimpse masks of virtue and masks of vice, masks that beguile and masks that reveal. Yet, heed this counsel, ye seekers of truth: in discerning the worth of these masks, let not the fleeting joys of carnival mislead, for within life's grand spectacle lie lessons profound, masks that teach and masks that unveil the essence of our mortal souls.
