I recall the stories of the clown more with fondness-- That he is made the object of gaity; he is the strongest of us Phineas Gage was struck by the Fates themselves-- A metal shaft shot through his skull obliterating the frontal lobes of his brain... he is one of the first documented cases of a person with a brain-injury... I remember him better than some lords of state 11/29/'13 edited by Gabe on 11/29/2013 edited by Gabe on 11/29/2013 edited by Gabe on 11/29/2013

The two pieces seem disparate (to me). While I think it's all very well expressed, I must admit that I didn't quite get it, but that's not to say someone else won't take what they need from this piece, and understand it much better than I. I give you credit for your word crafting, however; it's excellent. Not a very helpful critique, I'm afraid.

It just seemed right when I wrote it. I'm afraid I don't look back very much when I write something. I hope you have a Merry Christmas.
