Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

The conclusion is victory: on whose side? The kings. The captive is enricht: on whose side? The beggars.


Boyet
Love’s Labour’s Lost             Act IV, Scene i, Line 75


Boyet is reading Don Armando’s love letter to Jaquinita. The letter is almost thirty lines long and it doesn’t make much sense. I think it’s supposed to be funny, but I have to admit that the humour is lost on me.

Yes, that’s right, Mr. Shakespeare-Lover here is admitting that the humour is lost on him. Nobody’s perfect: not Will, not Boyet or Don Armando, and certainly not Mr. Shakespeare-Lover me.


Well, these pics got nothin to do with nothin, but that never stopped me before.

This plant sat on top of my bookcase completely ignored for a few years. 

 The other day I decided to water it. 

The conclusion? Couldn't kill the darn thing if I tried.

The plant twas a beggar enricht with water. Conclusion? Victory for the plant.
The question though... Why deny it victory for so long?? Why not just water the poor chap?
