Do not laugh at me ; For, as I am a man, I think this lady To be my child Cordelia.
Strana 255 - He only, in a general honest thought, And common good to all, made one of them. His life was gentle, and the elements So mix'd in him that Nature might stand up And say to all the world, 'This was a man!

Strana 128 - He made darkness his secret place, his pavilion round about Him with dark water, and thick clouds to cover Him.
Strana 279 - But we should reflect, that Lear is not agitated by one passion only, that he is not moved by rage, by grief, and indignation, singly, but by a tumultuous combination of them all together, where all claim to be heard at once, and where one naturally interrupts the progress of the other.
