Follies at Troynovant:
somewhat frivolous or whimsical ventures,
that is, minor light-hearted Profundities
which may include a smidgen or leavening of humor
for those who read closely;
listed by Title
About our overlayered structure for this Troy-town maze of cultural stratigraphy — at Troynovant an entry is a review of book or story, of film or reel or soundie, if largely about a particular title; while a brief nod or counterpoint to a notable article or curiosity is a comment; a folly mines a vein of humor, or if more pointed a satire; a memoir is a firsthand reminiscence; a compilation gathers illuminating quotations; otherwise generally an essay.
Against an Assault of Fooles, who would dare not cast a folly?

Frank Ford (to Sir John Falstaff):
Sir, I hear you are a scholar — I will be brief with you — and you have been a man long known to me, though I had never so good means as desire to make myself acquainted with you. I shall discover a thing to you wherein I must very much lay open mine own imperfection; but, good Sir John, as you have one eye upon my follies, as you hear them unfolded, turn another into the register of your own, that I may pass with a reproof the easier, sith you yourself know how easy it is to be such an offender.
William Shakespeare
The Merry Wives of Windsor, 2.2.161-169
