Unbearably troubling, , the sadness of clowns, with a creeping feeling of nightmare.

"Turn your agony and your tears into buffoonery,
your sobbing and pain into a funny grimace - Ah!
Laugh, you clown,
at your broken love.
Laugh at the pain which poisons your heart."
from "Pagliacci": dramma per musica in two acts and a prologue, libretto and music by Ruggero Leoncavallo (1857-1919).
