That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury
Signifying nothing.” from Macbeth by William Shakespeare

To get my land? Was that the game?

Misfortunes trouble earth, east, west, and north,
And no man living could endure a fourth.

Is there no other trouble that importunes
The world and that your parables could condemn?
Must an unhappy wife be one of them?” The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer
