Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.
I have of late, - but wherefore I know not, -lost all my
mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed it
goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly
frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory;
this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave
o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with
golden fire, why, it appears no other thing to me but a
foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
