Metaphor in Context
SPIEGELBERG
(Warmly.)
Yes, jealous of me--madly jealous you, and all of you.--I will invent such plans as shall confound every one of you.--How the light breaks in!--What great ideas dawn upon my mind --What giant-projects formed in this creative brain?--Curs'd lethargy of the soul!
(Striking his head.)
that chain'd my better judgement, cramp'd all my strength of mind--ruin'd all my prospects-- I am now awake--I feel what I am, what I must yet be.--Go leave me--you shall all be indebted to my bounty for your support!
