Shakespeare - King Lear Quotes, Famous King Lear Quotations
You
are not worth the dust which the rude wind
Blows in your face. King Lear, 4. 2
It
is the stars,
The stars above us, govern our conditions. King Lear, 4. 3
Crown'd
with rank fumiter and furrow-weeds,
With bur-docks, hemlock, nettles, cuckoo-flowers,
Darnel, and all the idle weeds that grow
In our sustaining corn. King Lear, 4. 4
How
fearful
And dizzy 'tis to cast one's eyes so low!
The crows and choughs that wing the midway air
Show scarce so gross as beetles; half way down
Hangs one that gathers samphire, dreadful trade!
Methinks he seems no bigger than his head:
The fishermen that walk upon the beach
Appear like mice. King Lear, 4. 6
GLOUCESTER:
Is't not the king?
LEAR: Ay, every inch a king. King Lear, 4. 6
Die:
die for adultery! no:
The wren goes to't, and the small gilded fly
Does lecher in my sight.
Let copulation thrive. King Lear, 4. 6
LEAR:
The fitchew, nor the soiled horse, goes to 't
With a more riotous appetite.
Down from the waist they are Centaurs,
Though women all above:
But to the girdle do the gods inherit,
Beneath is all the fiends';
There's hell, there's darkness, there's the sulphurous pit,
Burning, scalding, stench, consumption; fie, fie, fie! pah,
pah! Give me an ounce of civet, good apothecary, to sweeten
my imagination: there's money for thee.
GLOUCESTER: O, let me kiss that hand!
LEAR: Let me wipe it first; it smells of mortality.
GLOUCESTER: O ruin'd piece of nature! This great world
Shall so wear out to nought. King Lear, 4. 6
A
man may see how this world goes with no eyes. Look with thine
ears: see how yond justice rails upon yond simple thief. Hark,
in thine ear: change places; and, handy-dandy, which is the
justice, which is the thief? King Lear, 4. 6
Thou
rascal beadle, hold thy bloody hand!
Why dost thou lash that whore? Strip thine own back;
Thou hotly lust'st to use her in that kind
For which thou whipp'st her. King Lear, 4. 6
Get
thee glass eyes;
And like a scurvy politician, seem
To see the things thou dost not. King Lear, 4. 6
