QUOTES FROM THE BARD

PLAY: King Henry IV Part 1 ACT/SCENE: 3.1 SPEAKER: Glendower CONTEXT: Cousin, of many men
I do not bear these crossings. Give me leave
To tell you once again that at my birth
The front of heaven was full of fiery shapes,
The goats ran from the mountains, and the herds
Were strangely clamorous to the frighted fields.
These signs have marked me extraordinary,
And all the courses of my life do show
I am not in the roll of common men. DUTCH: En heel de loop mijns levens toont, dat ik
Niet op de rol sta der gewone menschen. MORE: Schmidt:
Clamorous=vociferous, loud
Crossings=Contradictions
Onions:
Rolls=list, register (fig.) Topics: fate/destiny, status, order/society
