Today’s Totally Random
Lines
‘Tis
all engaged, some forfeited and gone;
And what remains will hardly stop the mouth
Of present dues: the future comes apace:
What shall defend the interim? And at
length
How goes our reckoning?
Flavius
Timon of Athens Act II, Scene ii, Line 150
Timon’s right
hand man, Flavius, is letting Timon know that he, Timon, has some serious money
problems.
Let all my land be sold, says Timon.
Today’s Lines is Flavius’s answer to that. Apparently it’s all been mortgaged or sold already, and what hasn’t been mortgaged or sold is not enough to stop the mouth. I think he means enough to buy us food to eat.
Oh Timon! This guy
is living in a dreamworld. He should have been listening to Flavius long ago.
It’s a bit late now. Dreamers like Timon really need to listen to their Flaviuses.
Sort of like how you need to listen to Mrs. Blagys, because she takes care of everything and allows you to be a dreamer. Is it like that?
Yeah, something like that, Mojo.
Mrs. Blagys said it's exactly like that.
Okay. Sure.
