Dialogue

Macbeth: "I have almost forgot the taste of fears.
The time has been my senses would have cooled
To hear a night shriek, and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in't. I have supped full with horrors.
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot once start me. (V.viii.9-14).
