"Laughter," I said, "is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?"
................................................................................
................................................................................
So I said, "Laughter is silly. What good does it do to seek pleasure?"
................................................................................
................................................................................
I said of laughter, “It is mad,” and of pleasure, “What use is it?”

"Senseless," said I concerning laughter and pleasure, "How practical is this?"
................................................................................
................................................................................
I said of partying, "It is folly," and of self-indulgent pleasure, "It accomplishes nothing!"
................................................................................
................................................................................
I thought, "Laughter doesn't make any sense. What does pleasure accomplish?"
................................................................................
................................................................................

Laughter I counted error: and to mirth I said: Why art thou vainly deceived?
................................................................................
................................................................................
I said of laughter, Madness! and of mirth, What availeth it?
................................................................................
................................................................................
I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it?
................................................................................
................................................................................
