Quote by Jane Brereton

The picture placed the busts between Adds to the thought much strength; Wisdom and Wit are little seen, But Folly's at full length.


The picture placed the busts between Adds to the thought muc

Summary

This quote suggests that in our society, wisdom and wit are often overlooked and underappreciated, while folly and foolish behavior are given more attention and prominence. The picture described in the quote portrays this imbalance, with the busts of intelligent and wise figures placed to add strength to the thought, while portraying folly in its full length. It implies that we should pay more attention to wisdom and wit, as they potentially possess greater insights and value than what is commonly emphasized.
