Yes, Coriolanus is a marvel.
I solidly agree with Curtis that no wine should be drunk before its time--that is until the drinker ripens (as opposed to the grape). Being self-educated, I never had a lot of stuff shoved down my throat too early, but rather came to it at the various bends of a road that I myself had forged through the thicket with my own two feet. Religion is like that too, it works better if it is not taught too aggressively, if it is discovered.
And Andrew hit the nail on the head, the circle just keeps expanding, as does the book collection. Alas there does come a point where one has to begin to just let it go. I don't read nearly as much as I used to because I have reached the stage of knowing that I can never know everything, or even most things. I tend to not read things now that I feel will not linger long in memory. As one ages one likes to believe that there is something called wisdom that supplants knowledge, but the jury is still out on that one, ha!
