Coriolanus is one of Shakespeare's last and hence most well-crafted tragedies. Given its criticism of the forces that drive social inequality and famine, it is a lesser known play.

This is from Act II Scene II where the protagonist should be elected but, as two ushers describe, instead falls foul of political manipulation:

The first officer questions Coriolanus' motives and patriotism, which the second calls populist ideology. The first officer then portrays Coriolanus' as acting specifically to draw the hatred of popular opinion. The second points to this being political spin of envious politicians.

The judgement is therefore mixed. The public believe it is hubris, whereas the commentators believe it is the envy of the patrician class.

I personally think the key part of this exchange is the second officer stating that 'every one' thinks Coriolanus will win, i.e., including political rivals.

Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 is really resonating with me rn. His use of the poetic turn is particularly evident here, as he induldges in writing verse with a clear intention to stop negative thinking and emerge with a fresh state of mind.

His repetition of 'state' as well as his reference to 'kings' all have profound meaning for a person who's fallen out of favour in a stratified society, and in this case the bard suggests turning to the remembrance of love to cheer oneself up.

Nb. the bust is of the Swiss politician George Favon (1843-1902) and the plinth reads 'no progress without social justice'

"Sylvia Scarlett" is noted for its unconventional storyline and themes, ie, a pre-Code film, referring to Hollywood before the enforcement of the Hays Code but after the introduction of sound.

It sees Sylvia transform herself into Sylvester to escape the law; explores themes of gender identity, disguise, and unconventional relationships; and delves into notions of self-discovery, acceptance, and the fluidity of identity.

Katharine Hepburn in Sylvia Scarlett (1935) dir. George Cukor

Love recognized [abridged]

By Robert Penn Warren

There are many things in the world, and you Are one of them. Many things keep happening and You are one of them, and the happening that Is you keeps falling like snow On the landscape of not-you, hiding hideousness, until The streets and the world of wrath are choked with snow.

[...]

But you, like snow, like love, keep falling.

And it is not certain that the world will not be Covered in a glitter of crystalline whiteness.

Silence.

Ceasefire

We work and rest and even try to play. We eat our fill but fail to feel the peace. We shun the tears of other people's day. We wash our hands and mock our mortal lease.

Our wars and famines destroy lives for us. Our casus belli grant not glee to grasp. Our arms sell well and fear we not a fuss. Our cores turn cold and faces freeze to glass.

So heed the call and pray for fading souls, And with your mind do kindly grace the Earth, The poxy price you pay to play a role, In loaning out your lucky gift of birth.

Begin it must with single-minded thought, Love seated-deep, and hearts that can't be bought.
