So this is what’s making me giggle right now:
From a translation of Dante’s letter to Can Grande, in which he is explaining the difference between comedy and tragedy:
”...tragedy in the beginning is admirable and quiet, in the end or final exit it is smelly and horrible; and it gets its name because of this from tragos, which means “goat,” and oda, sort of like “goat-song,” that is, smelly like a goat…”
Smelly goat tragedy has me giggling.
How about you? What’s making you laugh today?
