Today’s Totally Random Lines
I would we had a thousand Roman dames
At such a bay, by turn to serve our lust.
Demetrius
Titus Andronicus Act IV, Scene ii, Line 41
This is really sick. Aaron the Moor, talking to Demetrius, says, Did you not use his daughter very friendly? He’s talking about the fact that Demetrius and his brother savagely raped and maimed Titus’s daughter Lavinia. That’s what Demetrius is responding to with Today’s Lines. Nice huh?
If it’s any consolation (which it’s really not), Demetrius and his brother are going to get murdered and cut up by Titus, put in a stew, and served unknowingly to their mother.
This play, written early in Will’s career, might be the original slasher movie/play.
Well, those are some pretty unpleasant (to say the least) mental images I've presented you with today. But remember, Totally Random. Totally.
To make it up to you, here's a pic of today's culinary creations: Christmas Wreaths. Much more seasonal, delectable, and pleasant to consider.
Bon appetit!

It's a slight consolation, tbh.
