LEAR Howl, howl, howl! O, you are men of stones.

Had I your tongues and eyes, I'd use them so

That heaven's vault should crack. She's gone forever.

I know when one is dead, and when one lives.

She's dead as earth.

                               William Shakespeare - King Lear V.3.263-267

LEAR Why should a dog, a horse, a rat, have life,

And thou no breath at all? Thou'lt come no more,

Never, never, never, never, never.

                              William Shakespeare - King Lear V.3.2.313-315
