Quote at the start of The Repairer of Reputations

The quote at the beginning of the Repairer of Reputations - "Ne raillons pas les fous; leur folie dure plus longtemps que la nôtre.... Voila toute la différence." - comes from a French book titled Dix épines pour une fleur: petites pensées d'un chasseur a l'affut By Adolphe d'. Houdetot, with very slight punctuation differences, as follows:


 * "Ne raillons pas les fous: leur folie dure plus longtemps que la nôtre.... voilà toute la différence."

This can be verified with Google Books at page 192 of the 2nd edition, published in 1874.

I have not been able to find an English translation of Ten Thorns. It's title is something along the lines of "Ten Thorns per Flower: Little Thoughts of a Hunter on the Lookout,"

The quote itself can be translated as "Do not sneer at fools: their folly lasts longer than ours... that is the only difference." (literally: "all the difference)"  Ileanadu (talk) 15:51, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Font for poem - Cassilda's Song
Is it possible to increase the font size used here? Or to choose a different font. I am looking at it in Google Chrome version 32.0.1700.107. It is hard to read. Not only is the font size small, and the effect of italicizing it makes it harder to read.

The font on the rest of the page looks fine, even the font for the quote at the beginning of The Repairer of Reputations. Ileanadu (talk) 04:08, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Looking at the the original publication, that part is in a heavier typeface than the body. Previously it was represented by a monospace font, I've replaced that with a bold body font. Does it look okay now? Prosody (talk) 04:29, 24 February 2014 (UTC)


 * Much better. My aging eyes thank you. Ileanadu (talk) 15:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
