This whole exchange tho. "The sun was warmer then and we were everyday together" is one of my favorite melancholic quotes. I've used it in my own life in the past. Part of the reason I love this play, and I've said it before, is how applicable I find it to my life. I'm always finding something new on every rereading.

Geoffrey's line here is one of my favorites ever. It's just so absurd and sort of lampshades the web of constantly shifting motives and tactics the audience is trying to keep track of. Honestly this whole scene has a bunch of meta dialogue about improvising, rehearsing, and scenes. My favorite meta line comes in later ("Scenes. I can't touch my sons except in scenes."), but this is a favorite.

Taking a break from my other book to take part in my traditional winter break reading. "The Lion in Winter" is one of my favorite plays that I hated in high school but I love as an adult. The dialogue and characters are fantastic, and there's always something new I find in here.

My first foray into Litsy with this book I got last Christmas. I really love the Medieval time period and I heard good things about this. Feeling hopeful about this!
