< I came to see the circus, not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings.>
My friend, I didn't get the meaning clearly.Could you please explain it for me?
Also<see it laid out>,I don't know the meaning either.
Englishdavis, what you refer to: "I came to see the circus, not some half-dressed tart spouting dire warnings"--is called a signature line. Anyone can add a quote or statement of up to 250 characters, on the profile page, and that will appear everytime they post something. So that is not specific to your question--it appears everywhere i have posted.
The sentence itself is a quote of a passage in a video game i like to play. Many people here use the signature line space to display a quote they particularly like, or believe has profound meaning. I've done the same thing myself. However, i grew bored with that, so i now use something silly, which is why i decided to use something from a video game. It doesn't mean anything, and it has nothing to do with either geometry or chemistry.
