The Fool. H. C. Bailey. New York: E. P. Dutton and Co. (1927). First edition. Original dust jacket.“Only one man was alive among the dead in the courtyard, and he sat on his heels in a corner and played knuckle-bones. He flared in the greyness, one lean thigh scarlet and one grass-green, his doublet a patchwork in all colours, about his neck and his big head a hood like a monk’s cowl, but yellow, and the crest of it was red and fashioned as a cock’s comb, and out of the sides came the grey rough ears of an ass.” -- source link
