Where’s the King?GENTLEMAN Contending with the fretful elements;Bids the wind blow the earth into the seaOr swell the curlèd waters ’bove the main,That things might change or cease; tears his white hair,Which the impetuous blasts with eyeless rageCatch in their fury and make nothing of;Strives in his little world of man to outscornThe to-and-fro conflicting wind and rain.This night, wherein the cub-drawn bear would couch,The lion and the belly-pinchèd wolfKeep their fur dry, unbonneted he runsAnd bids what will take all.KENT  But who is with him?GENTLEMAN None but the Fool, who labors to outjestHis heart-struck injuries.References:King Lear (electronic): https://www.folger.edu/explore/shakespeares-works/king-lear/read/ King Lear (print): https://www.tatteredcover.com/book/9781501118111 NB: Tattered Cover is a local Denver bookstore Ottilingam S.
