A string
Only takes as much
As it can hold.
Use it
and hold it,
Regardless of how much
strain
it can take.
But you
Don’t know how much
Tension it was
under
till it

Breaks.

And still, you won’t know what hit you.
It shows in my eyes. I’m fraying…

This fellow's wise enough to play the fool,
And to do that well craves a kind of wit.
He must observe their mood on whom he jests,
The quality of persons, and the time,
And, like the haggard, check at every feather
That comes before his eyes. This is a practice
As full of labour as a wise man's art.
For folly that he wisely shows is fit;
But wise men, folly-fall'n, quite taint their wit.
