Summary

This quote suggests that the speaker, who recalls their time in the circus, had a misconception about who held the most important role. They initially believed that the lion or the magician represented the pinnacle of royalty and significance. However, through their experience, they realized that the clown, typically regarded as a comedic and less prestigious figure, actually held the highest title of 'high prince'. This realization highlights the value and importance of laughter, entertainment, and the ability to uplift and bring joy to others, challenging conventional notions of power and importance.

An offering for the sake of offering, perhaps. Anyhow, it was her gift. Nothing else had she of the slightest importance; could not think, write, even play the piano. She muddled Armenians and Turks; loved success; hated discomfort; must be liked; talked oceans of nonsense: and to this day, ask her what the Equator was, and she did not know.All the same, that one day should follow another; Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday; that one should wake up in the morning; see the sky; walk in the park; meet Hugh Whitbread; then suddenly in came Peter; then these roses; it was enough. After that, how unbelievable death was!-that it must end; and no one in the whole world would know how she had loved it all; how, every instant . . .

After my father had seen me in five or six things, he said, Son, your mother and I really enjoyed your recent film, and I must say that you're a lot like John Wayne. And I said, How so? And he said, Well, you're exactly the same in all your roles. Now, as a modern American actor, that's not what you want to hear. But for a guy who watched John Wayne movies and grew up in Iowa, it's a sterling compliment.
