The bay-trees in our country are all withered, and meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven. the pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth, and lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change. rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap; the one in fear to lose what they enjoy, the other to enjoy by rage and war. these signs forerun the death or fall of kings.

The Bay-trees In Our Country Are All

William Shakespeare
The bay-trees in our country are all withered, and meteors fright the fixèd stars of heaven. the pale-faced moon looks bloody on the earth, and lean-looked prophets whisper fearful change. rich men look sad, and ruffians dance and leap; the one in fear to lose what they enjoy, the other to enjoy by rage and war. these signs forerun the death or fall of kings.

More From William Shakespeare

A revolution is bloody, but america is in a unique position. she's the only country in history in a position actually to become involved in a bloodless revolution. the russian revolution was bloody, chinese revolution was bloody, french revolution was bloody, cuban revolution was bloody, and there was nothing more bloody then the american revolution. but today this country can become involved in a revolution that won't take bloodshed. all she's got to do is give the black man in this country everything that's due him, everything.

There was just one moon. that familiar, yellow, solitary moon. the same moon that silently floated over fields of pampas grass, the moon that rose--a gleaming, round saucer--over the calm surface of lakes, that tranquilly beamed down on the rooftops of fast-asleep houses. the same moon that brought the high tide to shore, that softly shone on the fur of animals and enveloped and protected travelers at night. the moon that, as a crescent, shaved slivers from the soul--or, as a new moon, silently bathed the earth in its own loneliness. that moon.

The signs that presage growth, so similar, it seems to me, to those in early adolescence: discontent, restlessness, doubt, despair, longing, are interpreted falsely as signs of decay. in youth one does not as often misinterpret the signs; one accepts them, quite rightly, as growing pains. one takes them seriously, listens to them, follows where they lead. ... but in the middle age, because of the false assumption that it is a period of decline, one interprets these life-signs, paradoxically, as signs of approaching death.

We look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. we look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. it's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a meteor fall, flame and die. that's not a star worth following; it's just an unlucky rock. our fates are here on earth. there are no guiding stars.

People have stars, but they aren't the same. for travelers, the stars are guides. for other people, they're nothing but tiny lights. and for still others, for scholars, they're problems... but all those stars are silent stars. you, though, you'll have stars like nobody else... since i'll be laughing on one of them, for you it'll be as if all the stars are laughing. you'll have stars that can laugh!... and it'll be as if i had given you, instead of stars, a lot of tiny bells that know how to laugh.

What happens when all the parts of childhood are soldered down, when the young no longer have the time or space to play in their family's garden, cycle home in the dark with the stars and moon illuminating their route, walk down through the woods to the river, lie on their backs on hot july days in the long grass, or watch cockleburs, lit by morning sun, like bumblees quivering on harp wires? what then?

You know; when i look at the night sky and i see this enormous splendor of stars and galaxies, i sometimes ask the question, well how many worlds are we talking about? well do the math, there are about 100 billion galaxies that are in the visible universe and each galaxy in turn contains about 100 billion stars, you multiply and you get about ten billion trillion stars. well i think it is the height of arrogance to believe that we are alone in the universe, my attitude is that the universe is teaming, teaming with different kinds of life forms
