Each new morn
New widows howl, new orphans cry, new sorrows
Strike heaven on the face, that it resounds
As if it felt with Scotland and yell’d out
Like syllable of dolour.
– William Shakespeare
Macbeth, Act 4, Scene 3. Macduff details the evil of Macbeth’s tyranny in Scotland, where daily he creates new widows and orphans. Heaven is personified as Macduff describes how Macbeth is going against God, causing heaven to feel Scotland’s pain and cry out.
