I was nudged into via Bill S when I saw the movie version of Coriolanus, and the line 'Go get you home, you fragments' struck me. It comes with a sense of the abject, of course, but because Fiennes performance was so (perhaps over)energetic there was a charge there (in my feeble brain, anyway), the People as fragments. Now, from there, in my own weird little poet mind, I moved along through thought and rethought and rejection and another thought to thinking maybe I can do something with this idea (and maybe not - it is an experiment, and bound for failure as any). >> >> One thought was I collected lines or phrases from the plays relating to a certain word that interested me and then did a bit of pick n mix as to what might work.

It was taken from a collection of lines using the word 'air'. >> >> But here's an earlier one which incorporates a fragment of the above quote.
