I suppose I should have marked the act and scene, but that would mean digging to find it. <BR/><BR/>The "they" refers to the daughters and the "I" to the Fool. I particularly like the juxtaposition and irony of the words "joy / weep" and "sorrow / sung."<BR/><BR/>The King looks as if he's not wearing any shoes. That's exactly as I pictured Lear...no shoes, sitting on a rock in some field going mad...thus the attached quote.<BR/><BR/>In terms of happening upon it...simply by chance. When I travel, much of my time is spent wandering aimlessly simply taking it all in.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08423696800295940382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32203051.post-15760522846368170332007-04-18T07:53:00.000-07:002007-04-18T07:53:00.000-07:00And how did you happen on it, Carla?
