Richard II
Act 5, Scene 5
SCENE V. Pomfret castle.
Enter KING RICHARD
KING RICHARD II
I have been studying how I may compare
This prison where I live unto the world:
And for because the world is populous
And here is not a creature but myself,
I cannot do it; yet I'll hammer it out.
My brain I'll prove the female to my soul,
My soul the father; and these two beget
A generation of still-breeding thoughts,
And these same thoughts people this little world,
In humours like the people of this world,
For no thought is contented. The better sort,
As thoughts of things divine, are intermix'd
With scruples and do set the word itself
Against the word:
As thus, 'Come, little ones,' and then again,
'It is as hard to come as for a camel
To thread the postern of a small needle's eye.'
Thoughts tending to ambition, they do plot
Unlikely wonders; how these vain weak nails
May tear a passage through the flinty ribs
Of this hard world, my ragged prison walls,
And, for they cannot, die in their own pride.
Thoughts tending to content flatter themselves
That they are not the first of fortune's slaves,
Nor shall not be the last; like silly beggars
Who sitting in the stocks refuge their shame,
That many have and others must sit there;
And in this thought they find a kind of ease,
Bearing their own misfortunes on the back
Of such as have before endured the like.
Thus play I in one person many people,
And none contented: sometimes am I king;
Then treasons make me wish myself a beggar,
And so I am: then crushing penury
Persuades me I was better when a king;
Then am I king'd again: and by and by
Think that I am unking'd by Bolingbroke,
And straight am nothing: but whate'er I be,
Nor I nor any man that but man is
With nothing shall be pleased, till he be eased
With being nothing. Music do I hear?
Music
Ha, ha! keep time: how sour sweet music is,
When time is broke and no proportion kept!
So is it in the music of men's lives.
And here have I the daintiness of ear
To cheque time broke in a disorder'd string;
But for the concord of my state and time
Had not an ear to hear my true time broke.
I wasted time, and now doth time waste me;
For now hath time made me his numbering clock:
My thoughts are minutes; and with sighs they jar
Their watches on unto mine eyes, the outward watch,
Whereto my finger, like a dial's point,
Is pointing still, in cleansing them from tears.
Now sir, the sound that tells what hour it is
Are clamorous groans, which strike upon my heart,
Which is the bell: so sighs and tears and groans
Show minutes, times, and hours: but my time
Runs posting on in Bolingbroke's proud joy,
While I stand fooling here, his Jack o' the clock.
This music mads me; let it sound no more;
For though it have holp madmen to their wits,
In me it seems it will make wise men mad.
Yet blessing on his heart that gives it me!
For 'tis a sign of love; and love to Richard
Is a strange brooch in this all-hating world. posted by plexi at 8:09 AM on January 31
Cortex closed the issue on the blue and I'm not seeing it on the search results page, but the Google Webmaster tools have decided all my sites are dangerous. Clicking through to the description of why reports that they're not dangerous.
So according to Google they both are and are not dangerous simultaneous. DON'T OPEN THAT BOX SCHROEDINGER'S CAT NEEDS A TIMEOUT ANYWAY AFTER THAT MESS IN THE LAB YESTERDAY. posted by mrmorgan at 8:18 AM on January 31 [2 favorites]

For real one time when we were at camp we went into the bathroom with a wifi-equipped netbook, turned off all the lights and googled "bloody mary with her head chopped off" ten times real fast.
But the camp firewall totally blocked whatever was about to happen. posted by felix betachat at 9:10 AM on January 31 [3 favorites]

How is this MetaFilter related? Just because there were posts about it?
And what is your intent with this post? Do you want us to talk about it more, or to shame us for talking about it so much? posted by yellowbinder at 9:36 AM on January 31
Or talk about how we've been talking about it? I'm confused. posted by yellowbinder at 9:37 AM on January 31
Do you know that if you google gullible, you'll get no results?
Not true at all. posted by gman at 9:53 AM on January 31
