「まだ世の中に「愚か」という美徳があったころ…」谷崎潤一郎

In his essay The Vision of the Fool (1947), Collins wrote that the Fool was the  "‘Saint, the artist, the poet’. 

"'The saint, the artist, and the poet are all one in the Fool, in him they live, in him the poetic imagination of life lives."

“The Fool is the poetic imagination of life, as inexplicable as the essence of life itself. This poetic life, born in all human beings, lives in them while they are children, but it is killed in them when they grow up by the abstract mechanization of contemporary society.”
