Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.

No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous?

Almost, at times, the Fool.
T. S. Eliot "The Love-Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
