My favorite new found quote

Be not afeard; the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices
That, if I then had waked after long sleep,
Will make me sleep again: and then, in dreaming,
The clouds methought would open and show riches
Ready to drop upon me that, when I waked,
I cried to dream again.

There is a sadness in these words that I did not notice until Roberto read this passage after his paper. We are made to believe that Caliban is a half-human monster, but in this passage, we see that he is like anyone else just wishing for a life full of riches and happiness.

There is a quote by Dr. Seuss that reminds me of this quote:

"You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams."

I made this connection because in your dreams, you have the ability to be completely happy. That is where Caliban is happy. We don't know what he dreams of because riches can be anything. But I like to think he dreams of love. Of finding where he belongs.

We all dream of finding where we belong, and with whom we belong. As Nick discussed in his paper, we need to figure out what part we play, and once we know that, we need to play it to our fullest.
