What a piece of work is a man, |
|
how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me— nor woman neither, though by your smiling you seem to say so.
Good play,Shakespeare.

"...yon'd simp'ring dame, Whose face between her forks presages snow; That minces virtue, and does shake the head To hear of pleasure's name-- The fitchew nor the soiled horse goes to't With a more riotous appetite. Down from the waist they are Centaurs, Though woman all above; But to the girdle do the gods inherit, Beneath is all the fiends': there's hell, there's darkness, There is the sulphurous pit, burning, scalding, Stench, consumption. Fie, fie, fie! pah, pah!
King Lear had some trouble with his daughters, they say...
