For ruin’s wasteful entrance. There the murderers,
Steep’d in the colors of their trade, their daggers
Unmannerly breech’d with gore.”
Are monosyllables passionless? Listen, again, to the “Thane of Cawdor”:
“That is a step
On which I must fall down, or else o’erleap,
For in my way it lies. Stars, hide your fires,
Let not light see my black and deep desires.
The eye winks at the hand. Yet, let that be
Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.”
