 Today’s Totally Random Lines

 

What should we do with these bald tribunes?

 

Coriolanus

Coriolanus                     Act III Scene i, Line 164

Bald is foolish, and tribunes are the peoples' representatives in the senate.  

What should we do with these foolish representatives?

This scene is all about two of the smarmy tribunes confronting Coriolanus and the latter’s response to them, of which Today’s Line is only a small part.

The tribunes are indeed much more than just foolish, and every time I look at this play I am reminded of the many fools we have in D.C. today.

I can’t help it.

PULL UP, Pete! PULL UP, PULL UP!

Still a fine play, though; a very fine play. It should be taught in our schools. Assuming we still have schools going forward.

PULL UP!

This little man isn't concerned about tribunes, or schools, or much of anything else. 

His concern? Sunbeams!
