Titus Andronicus (King Lear)
`What a piece of work is man, we cry.'
`So much more beautiful and so much more terrible then we knew!'
Why should he be so, if this beauty and
greatness only tortures itself
and throws itself away?
Everywhere we see power, Intelligence, life and glory, which astound us and seem to call for our worship.
And everywhere we see them perishing, devouring one another and destroying themselves . . . as though they came into being for no end.
By William Shakespeare
Shepard King of Admetus
"Men called him a shiftless youth
in whom no good they saw,
And yet unwitting, in truth,
They made his careless word
their law.
And day by day more holy grew
Each spot where he had trod, Till after-poets only knew their
First born brother was a God."
Two Years Before The Mast
"When for a moment, like a drop
of rain,
He sinks into thy depths with
bubbling groan,
Without a grave, unknelled,
uncoffined, and unknown."
By R.H. Dana
