Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

And how you may be converted, I know not; but methinks you look with your eyes as other women do.

 

Margaret

Much Ado About Nothing             Act III, Scene iv, Line 85


Ahhh, the famous methinks! Methinks I’ve run into methinks before in doing these lines, but for some reason it’s really jumping out at me this morning. This is one sixteenth century word that you can use in 2024, and methinks that no one will bat an eye at it.

So, no worries about the rest of today’s line- meaning, context, whatever. We’ll just wallow in the sunlight of methinks, and methinks that’ll be just fine.


Methinks there'll be no metaphorical sunshine wallowing for this character;
he much prefers wallowing in the literal sunshine.
