Most of the appearance of mirth in the world is not mirth, it is art. The wounded spirit is not seen, but walks under a disguise.

All the world old is queer save thee and me, and even thou art a little queer

Transportation made sublimation literal. It conveyed evil to another world.

O wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursel's as ithers see us! It wad frae monie a blunder free us. And foolish notion; What airs in dress and gait wad lea'e us, And ev'n devotion!

I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning.

Judge not a man by his clothes, but by his wife's clothes.
