King Henry : applicable to any for the four Henry’s in Shakespeare’s plays.
... by analogy from the description of him at peace as the Lamb of God. We have only to note two turns of thought, one general and the other specifically Christian, one as long ago as Shakespeare's King Henry the Fifth, and the other in a poem of our own day: T. S. Eliot's Gerontion. Shakespeare has the lines, which begin with a mention of lamb-like attributes and whose concluding purport can easily...

... even three in the morning, only to rise again by six a.m. ready for more intensive work. Perhaps no one has described the anguish of the insomniac as vividly and poetically as Shakespeare's King Henry V O Sleep, O gentle Sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee That thou no more wilt weigh my eyelids down And steep my senses in forgetfulness? Why rather. Sleep... rude, And in the calmest and most stillest night, With all appliances and means to boot, Deny it to a king? Then happy low, lie down! Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown. (King Henry IV, 2, III, i.4-31.) Insomnia is not considered an illness, and most insomniacs are able to live normal lives. However, the effects of prolonged sleep deprivation are well known: a loss of efficiency ...
... But he adds that it is not always possible to affirm this, because on each level there could be the sheer inevitable and hot only the inevitable proper to that level. For instance, in Shakespeare, King Henry the fourth's question to sleep — Wilt thou upon the high and giddy mast Seal up the shipboy's eyes and rock his brains In cradle of the rude imperious surge? — is, according to Sri Aurobindo ...

... greater fervour. My argument was that since one day die we must, it was better to die bravely, even Page 45 if earlier than live longer, fearful and cowardlike. Have you heard of the French king Henry IV? It is said of him that he was full of fear, but to get rid of it he used to literally jump into the thick of the battle. You know, my body was not like yours, well-built and sturdy. It most ...
... in imitations of great poetry, is as palpable as the similarity. 1 Some familiar examples may be taken from English literature. Crude as is the composition & treatment of the three parts [of] King Henry VI, its style unformed & everywhere full of echoes, yet when we get such lines as Thrice is he armed that hath his quarrel just And he but naked though locked up in steel Whose conscience ...
... too much dressed up for pathos, too eloquent and full of unchildlike sentimentality & posing. Children are fond of posing and children are sentimental, but not in that way. As for the Princes in King Henry VI and Richard III no real lover of children could endure them; one feels almost thankful to the crookback for mercifully putting them out of the way. Nor is Constance a sympathetic figure; her shrieking ...

... e took his materials from this legend or that play, this chronicle or that history? His framework possibly, but not his creations; Hamlet did not come from the legend or the play, nor Cassius or King Henry from the history or the chronicle. No, Shakespeare contained in himself all his creatures, and therefore transcended & exceeded them; he was and is more than they or even than their sum and total; ...
