Au contraire. My nic is very apropos.
I'm constantly asking myself: What the heck is a fardel?
And: Who the heck would bear such things?
As you know, it was some kid said long ago ( that child has been on Social Security for decades, by now, if still alive! )as a jumbled Sunday school quote. Though I have also seen it as a quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet. In modern English, it translates into : who would bear burdens/who would bear another's burden?.
