The "heath" scene. King Lear, locked out by his two daughters, wanders off in a storm on the heath. (Act III, scene 2)
Dialogue
Lear: "Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow!
You cataracts and hurricanoes, spout
Till you have drenched our steeples, drowned the cocks!
You sulphurous and thought-executing fires,
Vaunt-couriers to oak-cleaving thunderbolts,
Singe my white head! And thou, all-shaking thunder,
Smite flat the thick rotundity o'the world!
Crack nature's molds, all germens spill at once
That make ungrateful man!" (III.ii.1-9)
