Titus Andronicus

By William Shakespeare

QUOTATION: When heaven doth weep, doth not the earth o’erflow?
If the winds rage, doth not the sea wax mad,
Threatening the welkin with his big-swollen face?
ATTRIBUTION: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Titus, in Titus Andronicus, act 3, sc. 1, l. 221-3.

QUOTATION: Now I stand as one upon a rock,
Environed with a wilderness of sea,
Who marks the waxing tide grow wave by wave,
Expecting ever when some envious surge
Will in his brinish bowels swallow him.
ATTRIBUTION: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Titus, in Titus Andronicus, act 3, sc. 1, l. 93-7.

QUOTATION: Repose you here in rest,
Secure from worldly chances and mishaps.
Here lurks no treason, here no envy swells,
Here grow no damned drugs, here are no storms,
No noise, but silence and eternal sleep.
ATTRIBUTION: William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British dramatist, poet. Titus, in Titus Andronicus, act 1, sc. 1, l. 151-5.
