The Rorschach inkblot test is a psychological evalutation test used to diagnose thought disorder and differentiate psychotic from non-psychotic thinking cases.
Pagliacci (Players, or Clowns) is a famous tragic opera by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
It was often said that the perenially-depressed Groucho Marx was the only person in the world who didn't have Groucho Marx to cheer him up.
Just like Pagliacci did, I try to keep my sadness hid.
Smokey Robinson, The Tears Of A Clown
Heard a joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says "But, doctor...I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains.
