Daily Dose
From The Odyssey, by Homer, translated by Robert Fagles
SO
"... So,
keep your fists to yourself, don't press your luck, don't rile me up,
or old as I am, I'll bloody your lip, splatter your chest
and buy myself some peace and quiet for tomorrow."
From Book Eighteen, The Beggar-King of Ithaca
