ANNE: Villain, thou know’st nor law of God nor man. No beast so fierce but knows some touch of pity.

That knew the stars as I his characters;"

"The sum of all our answer is but this:
We would not seek a battle, as we are;
Nor, as we are, we say we will not shun it"

"Full fathom five thy father lies.
Of his bones are coral made.
Those are pearls that were his eyes.
Nothing of him that doth fade,
But doth suffer a sea change
Into something rich and strange."
- William Shakespeare, "The Tempest" (Act 1, Scene 2)
