“Laugh, and the world laughs with you;Weep, and you weep alone.For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth,But has trouble enough of its own.Sing, and the hills will answer;Sigh, it is lost on the air.The echoes bound to a joyful sound,But shrink from voicing care.
Rejoice, and men will seek you;Grieve, and they turn and go.They want full measure of all your pleasure,But they do not need your woe.Be glad, and your friends are many;Be sad, and you lose them all.There are none to decline your nectared wine,But alone you must drink life’s gall.
Feast, and your halls are crowded;Fast, and the world goes by.Succeed and give, and it helps you live,But no man can help you die.There is room in the halls of pleasureFor a long and lordly train,But one by one we must all file onThrough the narrow aisles of pain."
Ella Wheeler Wilcox (5 November 1850 – 30 October 1919)

So, this Travis, this head in a jar, still has hopes and dreams. A lesson for everyone: Don’t tell anybody about your hopes and dreams.

Ignore him, Travis. Don’t let him get in your head.

Travis just came to a jarring realization.

Tears of a clown. Or is that, clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right….
