"Vulpis ad personam tragicam"
Personam tragicam forte vulpes viderat:
"O quanta species inquit cerebrum non habet." -- Phaedrus
No, I don't understand the Latin without a handy translation to guide me. But I like the look and the sound of it. And the sentiment is classic. Here it is in English:
The Fox Before the Tragic Actor's Mask
A fox, after looking by chance at a tragic actor's mask, remarked: "O what a majestic face is here, but it has no brains!"
