Melancholy Jacques

O noble fool!
A worthy fool!
Motley's the only wear.

I like this statue, which stands at the top end of Henley Street in Stratford on Avon. The inscription on it (above) is from As You Like It, which I remember fondly from studying at school. Melancholy Jacques is the jester who delivers the "All the world's a stage" speech.
