Lear Quote

Lear: My enemies will not destroy my work! I gave my life to these people. I've seen armies on their hands and knees in blood, insane women feeding dead children at their empty breasts, dying men spitting blood at me with their last breath, our brave young men in tears... But I could bear all this! When I'm dead my people will live in freedom and peace and remember my name, no, venerate it! They are my sheep and if one of them is lost, I'd take fire to hell to bring him out. I loved and cared for all my children, and now you've sold them to their enemies! [shoots the untried prisoner condemned on the spot]
