Am currently reading Othello again, infinitely more interesting "The World's History is just that of Spiders & Flies "....the play's the thing and with Nature the play must always go on.

Great speech here...
O, now for everFarewell the tranquil mind! farewell content!
Farwell the plumed troop, and the big wars
That make ambition virtue! O, farewell!
Farewell the neighing steed and the shrill trump,
The spirit-stirring drum, th’ear-piercing fife,
The royal banner, and all quality,
Pride, pomp, and circumstance of glorious war!
And O ye mortal engines whose rude throats
Th’ immortal Jove’s great clamours counterfeit
Farewell! Othello’s occupation gone!
