"That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur To prick the sides of my intent, but only Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself And falls on th' other"

Macbeth is expressing the dangers of being overambitious. He is aware that mindless ambition makes a person blind to all the pitfalls that are in front of that person. So, he is warning himself to be careful of his own desires. Especially when  he believes that the prophecy is about to be thwarted by the announcement of Duncan. It gives credence to the point that Lady Macbeth didn't convince Macbeth to commit murder. That intent was always present in him.\n\nIt has nothing to do with the weather. The weather is simply gloomy which is a part of the 'darkness' of the play. The fact that nothing is what it seems including the characters.

i can say to u thatz my best Poem...\nand the count.. of it is:\n\nBeware the fantasy that speaks,\nThe vague ideal that springs a soul.\nNo marriage can avoid the shoal\nThat lies beneath such sun-drenched peaks.\nNo love but may retreat to stone\nAs sirens sad the heart entice.\nTwo names entwine in paradise\nWhile here two lovers lie alone.

The wind literally blows the tears to the sides of your eyes until they run. Your eyes are then dry, so you automatically produce more tears.

Hey, I'm no prophet; but thanks for the remark.\n\n\nOk, I'll play along.\n\nOpen thine ears, and hearken unto my voice all true Squiggries and Migglies. The day of reckoning is at hand. Let the wrath of the Bafuudo be redeemed. Arise, I tell you, arise and take up arms against the lowly zabubabulooians. For they shall be like flies to our newspaper, and ants to our magnifying glass.\n\nSo saith airborne_lt

From fairest creatures we desire increase,\nThat thereby beauty's rose might never die,\nBut as the riper should by time decease,\nHis tender heir might bear his memory:\nBut thou contracted to thine own bright eyes,\nFeed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel,\nMaking a famine where abundance lies,\nThy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel:\nThou that art now the world's fresh ornament,\nAnd only herald to the gaudy spring,\nWithin thine own bud buriest thy content,\nAnd, tender churl, mak'st waste in niggarding:\nPity the world, or else this glutton be,\nTo eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.\n\n\nQuestionable it may be,\nat least be thankful\nyou don't read the poet from Dundee!\n\n\nBeautiful Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay!\nAlas! I am very sorry to say\nThat ninety lives have been taken away\nOn the last Sabbath day of 1879,\nWhich will be remember'd for a very long time.\n\n'Twas about seven o'clock at night,\nAnd the wind it blew with all its might,\nAnd the rain came pouring down,\nAnd the dark clods seem'd to frown,\nAnd the Demon of the air seem'd to say-\n"I'll blow down the Bridge of Tay."\n\nWhen the train left Edinburgh\nThe passengers' hearts were light and felt no sorrow,\nBut Boreas blew a terrific gale,\nWhich made their hearts for to quail,\nAnd many of the passengers with fear did say-\n"I hope God will send us safe across the Bridge of Tay."\n\nBut when the train came near to Wormit Bay,\nBoreas he did loud and angry bray,\nAnd shook the central girders of the Bridge of Tay\nOn the last Sabbath day of 1879,\nWhich will be remember'd for a very long time.\n\nSo the train sped on with all its might,\nAnd Bonnie Dundee soon hove in sught,\nAnd the passengers' hearts felt light,\nThinking they would enjoy themselves on the New Year,\nWith their friends at home they lov'd most dear,\nAnd wish them all a happy New Year.\n\nSo the train mov'd slowly along the Bridge of Tay,\nUntil it was about midway,\nThen the central girders with a crash gave way,\nAnd down went the train and passengers into the Tay!\nThe Storm Fiend did loudly bray,\nBecause ninety lives had been taken away,\nOn the last Sabbath day of 1879,\nWhich will be remember'd for a very long time.\n\nAs soon as the catastrophe came to be known\nThe alarm from mouth to mouth was blown,\nAnd the cry rang out all o'er the town,\nGood Heavens! the Tay Bridge is blown down,\nAnd a passenger train from Edinburgh,\nWhich fill'd all the peoples hearts with sorrow,\nAnd made them for to turn pale,\nBecause none of the passengers were sav'd to tell the tale\nHow the disaster happen'd on the last Sabbath day of 1879,\nWhich will be remember'd for a very long time.\n\nIt must have been an awful sight,\nTo witness in the dusky moonlight,\nWhile the Storm Fiend did laugh, and angry did bray,\nAlong the Railway Bridge of the Silv'ry Tay,\nOh! ill-fated Bridge of thSilv'ry Tay,\nI must now conclude my lay\nBy telling the world fearlessly without the least dismay,\nThat your central girders would not have given way,\nAt least many sensible men do say,\nHad they been supported on each side with buttresses,\nAt least many sensible men confesses,\nFor the stronger we our houses do build,\nThe less chance we have of being killed.\n\n\nEnjoy!

Well, duuhh...\n\nFirey the angels fell,\nDeep thunder roll'd around their shores,\nBurning with the fires of Orc. \nThis is a paraphrase of William Blake's America: A Prophesy: \nFiery the angels rose, and as they rose deep thunder roll'd\nAround their shores: indignant burning with the fires of Orc. \n \nTouche, I think?...

ahhhh   KING LEAR!!!  it's hard to explain actually because this isn't a soliloquy.  it's what he says to kent and the "fool" after leaving the company of his two daughters (regan and goneral) during an arguement they had.  he's telling the other two to go into this "shelter" if you can call it that, to sheild themselves from the storm (the tempest, "tempest" in shakespears day meant storm).  of course it was violent storm that night.  the night the king lost his "glory" and in a manner of speaking the gods unleashed their fury!  it was so bad that it distracted his mind.  the storm represents what he felt in his heart.  the part where he tells the "boy" to go in first and calls him houseless poverty is just a juxtapose.  the will pray then he'll sleep which is pretty straight forward.  you really have to watch the play to understand.

SONNET 29 PARAPHRASE \nWhen, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, When I've run out of luck and people look down on me, \nI all alone beweep my outcast state All alone I lament my fate as an outcast* \nAnd trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And pray to heaven but my cries go unheard \nAnd look upon myself and curse my fate, And look at myself, cursing my fate, \nWishing me like to one more rich in hope, Wishing I were like one* who had more hope in life \nFeatured like him, like him with friends possess'd, Wishing I looked like him; wishing I were surrounded by friends, \nDesiring this man's art and that man's scope, I desire this man's art and that man's range*, \nWith what I most enjoy contented least; I am least contented with what I used to enjoy most. \nYet in these thoughts myself almost despising, But in this mood almost despising myself, \nHaply I think on thee, and then my state, I think of you and then my state of sadness \nLike to the lark at break of day arising Like the lark at the break of day, rises \nFrom sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven's gate; From the gloomy earth and I sing hyms to heaven; \nFor thy sweet love remember'd such wealth brings For thinking of your love brings such happiness to mind \nThat then I scorn to change my state with kings. That then I would not change my state with kings.

This verse is part of God's talking to Job about His ability and Job's inability. In verses 8-11, God states He and He alone has the power to limit the seas movements. They can go no farther than he allows and waves can get no higher than He wants them to. Sounds like a statement to mankind also...lol

Not allot, but I am quite familiar with  the above mentioned verses.  Although the demands the lord is asking ARE SO  extreme, I think I'll just wait on the sidelines until the last moment and just before I die, well,....... well then if ,...if all else fails , I 'll jump in at the last minute!  Hey, what's the Good lord going to do, ..,.Throw me back out?  NOT., I'll be a keeper!

In the Bible it says "Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another:  and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."  \n\nsorry, I misquoted the first time

It's pretty good.  Did you come up with it? Maybe you can reword it to read...\n\n"Do not laugh at others failures when you're not courageous enough to tackle one"\n\nKeep the "one" the same and let it have the same meaning (failure).  I like how you used one as a metaphor.  It makes the quote a bit more profound.
