HW: Find an example of synaesthesia in Antony's soliloquy 


ANTONY  
     O, pardon me, thou bleeding piece of earth,  
3.1.255     That I am meek and gentle with these butchers!  
     Thou art the ruins of the noblest man  
     That ever lived in the tide of times.  
     Woe to the hand that shed this costly blood!  
     Over thy wounds now do I prophesy—  
3.1.260     Which, like dumb mouths, do ope their ruby lips,  
     To beg the voice and utterance of my tongue—
     A curse shall light upon the limbs of men;  
     Domestic fury and fierce civil strife  
     Shall cumber all the parts of Italy;  
3.1.265     Blood and destruction shall be so in use
     And dreadful objects so familiar  
     That mothers shall but smile when they behold  
     Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;  
     All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:  
3.1.270     And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
     With Ate by his side come hot from hell,  
     Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice  
     Cry "Havoc!" and let slip the dogs of war;  
     That this foul deed shall smell above the earth  
3.1.275     With carrion men, groaning for burial.
