So well said. One of my favorites: “The bay-trees in our country are all wither'dAnd meteors fright the fixed stars of heaven;The pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earthAnd lean-look'd prophets whisper fearful change;Rich men look sad and ruffians dance and leap,The one in fear to lose what they enjoy,The other to enjoy by rage and war:These signs forerun the death or fall of kings.”
