THERAPIST: the great clown Pagliacci is in town. Go see him, he’s great. I’ve think his performance saved my marriage. My wife and I quote bits of it to each other and laugh. In his own way he’s been a ray of sunlight in our lives. I’ll respect him forever for what it did for me.

These were the weeks in 1649 when John Milton was writing “The Tenure of Kings and Magistrates”, pointing out that many people love a tyrant because they love “not freedom, but license, which never hath more scope, or more indulgence than under tyrants”
