diinadam:a portrait of Titinius because I spent too much time reading accounts of Cassius’ death today and got really emotional about Titinius :’)Soon after this, Brutus’s horsemen were recognized and Titinius, whom they had crowned with garlands, rode up to report to Cassius. But as soon as he learned from the weeping and lamentations of Cassius’s friends of the fate which had overtaken the general, he reproached himself bitterly for his slowness which had been the cause, and then drew his sword and fell upon it. [plutarch’s brutus]TITINIUS:Hie you, Messala,And I will seek for Pindarus the while.Why didst thou send me forth, brave Cassius?Did I not meet thy friends? and did not theyPut on my brows this wreath of victory,And bid me give it thee? Didst thou not hear their shouts?Alas, thou hast misconstrued every thing!But, hold thee, take this garland on thy brow;Thy Brutus bid me give it thee, and IWill do his bidding. Brutus, come apace,And see how I regarded Caius Cassius.By your leave, gods:–this is a Roman’s partCome, Cassius’ sword, and find Titinius’ heart.[shakespeare’s julius caesar]twitter | ko-fi | society6 | deviantart -- source link
