For Chris Stoffolino,

Do you mean this passage from Twelfth Night, 5.1?--

             Clown:  Marry, sir, they praise me and make an ass of me;
                     now my foes tell me plainly I am an ass:  so that by
                     my foes, sir I profit in the knowledge of myself,
                     and by my friends, I am abused:  so that,
                     conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives
                     make your two affirmatives why then, the worse for
                     my friends and the better for my foes.

To Cris Stroffolino,

I suppose by now you're the better for all your foes and friends who have sent
you their answers--and that by now you know, as well as any man in SHAKSPERIA,
that you're looking for Feste.  But that's all one.

                                                Cheers, John Ford

How about "conclusions to be as kisses" (TN 5.1.20)?

Yours, Bill Godshalk

Twelfth Night's Clown Feste, at V.1.21 or so. Too late for an "A"?

Thanks to all who backchanneled me with the proper answer to my question and/or
quiz ---there was no single winner--everyone agreed that it was Ghandi I mean
Feste in act 5. Now, I'd like to turn the informational question into a more
speculative register. Why do you (anyone) think Feste would make the link
between "conclusions" and "kisses"? Especially in a play with such an interest
in "conclusion"--or is it just a rhetorical figure that should not be taken
seriously on the thematic level? Or does it complicate the "journeys end in
lovers meeting"? Just curious. Thanks, Chris Stroffolino

Clown=Feste to the Duke in TN 5.1.ca. 21 (Harvard Concordance): "so that,
conclusions to be as kisses, if your four negatives make your two affirmatives
...."

Ask me another, this is too easy. And good luck!
