臺灣總統大選在即，市井小民如我於此前夕借文祝禱之：
The Fool's Prayer
The royal feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banish care,
And to his jester cried: Sir Fool,
Kneel now, and make for us a prayer!
The jester doffed his cap and bells,
And stood the mocking court before;
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore.
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarch's silken stool;
His pleading voice across: 'O Lord,
Be merciful to me, a fool!'
----------------------------------------------------
The room was hushed; in silence rose
The King, and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low,
'Be merciful to me, a fool!'
-- Edward Rowland Sill, 1868
Like Princess Leia Said "They were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Naturally they become heroes." I hope they will be a hero after tomorrow. May God bless Taiwan, a fool!
