…when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire...I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you might forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. Because no battle is ever won he said. They are not even fought. The field only reveals to man his own folly and despair, and victory is an illusion of philosophers and fools.William Faulkner

Although im guessing you're already aware of this...
Funny isnt it; all these people interesting/ semi obsessed with follies seem to have a disgruntlement at the goverment and becoming part of the EU. Several of the books I've got go on rants about the state of Britain and loss of national identity. They seem to see the the disreguard of follies as part and parcel of this state!
