Status Updates From King Lear

“Through tattered clothes small vices do appear;
Robes and furred gowns hide all. Plate sin with gold,
And the strong lance of justice hurtless breaks;
Arm it in rags, a Pygmy’s straw does pierce it.”
(IV.vi)


These words certainly resonate in our current era…

“‘‘Tis the times’ plague, when madmen lead the blind.”
(IV.i)
