Montaigne

Michel Eyquem, Seigneur de Montaigne ( mon-TAYN; French: [miʃɛl ekɛm də mɔ̃tɛɲ]; 28 February 1533 – 13 September 1592), commonly known as Michel de Montaigne, was one of the most significant philosophers of the French Renaissance. He is known for popularizing the essay as a literary genre. His work is noted for its merging of casual anecdotes and autobiography with intellectual insight. Montaigne had a direct influence on numerous Western writers; his massive volume Essais contains some of the most influential essays ever written.

I'm always one hint of a meaningful look
From boys with one hint of reading the same books
From dressing myself in some masquerade gown
And wearing this frock in my frolicking town
That is chimera and I am a clown

If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown

My cheeks are bright red, I am a bird
Hyenaic laughter, you've probably heard
Life is a joke and I'm glad I'm around
To be in the punchline and to hear the sound
Of some people laughing, I am a clown
So why do I want those who want me to frown?

If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown

And though I have found I am a clown
I still put the mask on when he is around
Perhaps I am still pining after a crown
But it's not for me, I am a clown
Perhaps for she, graceful in bounds
Mercy on me should you have found

If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown

If I am earnest, we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
If my tongue's in my mouth we're not meant to be
You should have found I am a clown
