Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

What, hath the firmament more suns than one?

 

Saturninus

Titus Andronicus      Act V, Scene iii, Line 17


Hey, this is a good line, and one that you can use. Let me explain. Saturninus, the emperor, comes on the scene and Lucius, who will be challenging Saturninus, does not bow to him. Simply put, Saturninus is asking the rhetorical question, is there someone else (besides me) who’s the boss here? He's the sun, and the rest of the world is the firmament. Get it?

So, next time you’re in charge, and it can be just about any situation - work, parenting, etc., when someone is not doing what you tell them just unload with What, hath the firmament more suns than one?

Oh, that’ll frost ‘em, all right. Might confuse them a bit as well, but that’s okay.  

Yes, there is only one sun in the 341 Radmere Road firmament, and it sure as hell ain't me. 
And yes, I let him drive when he wants to. 
What can I tell you: He's the sun!
