141 Tom fool
дурак, болван (отсюда tomfoolery дурачество, шутовство)In this idiotic world of the theatre, either you are Tamburlaine shaking the earth or you are poor Tom Fool sinking into obscurity and oblivion. Either they are all chasing you or they are all avoiding you. (J. B. Priestley, ‘Rain upon Godshill’, ch. 6) — В нашем идиотском театральном мире вы либо Тамерлан, потрясающий человечество, либо никому не известный шут гороховый. За вами или все охотятся, или все вас избегают.
