“O tigers heart wrapped in a womans hide!
How couldst thou drain the lifeblood of the child,
To bid the father wipe his eyes withal,
And yet be seen to bear a womans face?
Women are soft, mild, pitiful, and flexible;
Thou stern, obdurate, flinty, rough, remorseless.”

Lear. Let me wipe it first, it smells of mortality.
Gloucester. O ruined piece of nature! This great world
Shall so wear out to nought.”
