Unphotographable Moment

A man of many years stood leaning against a worn fence post, Staring intensely into the lust demanding field beyond him. The look of undeniable defeat in his eyes. A "NO TRESPASSING" sign faced him obstructively; staring back at him. This man had journeyed as far as he could reach, taking no obstacle impossible; now had met he trip's demise. This man was filled with woe, for he was so involved with this new depressor that he had not turned to notice the heavenly fire-lit expanse of sky on the path he left behind him.

Hamlet notes

Claudius poured poison into king hamlets ear.
Gertrude left king hamlet for Claudius before he died. 
"I have sworn it." Hamlet is resolved. 
"Something is rotten in the State of Denmark." 
"There are more things in heaven and earth, horatio, than are dreamt in your philosophy." 
"The time is out of joint: O cursed spite, that ever I was born to set it right!" Hamlet thinks he was born to avenge his father. 
"By in directions, find directions out." Polonius's way of getting info out of people with little lies... 
Hamlet startles Ophelia with his actions( good he faking) for Polonius to hear. Ophelia loves him and Polonius forbides her from seeing him. Hamlet may love her or be making a scene(acting weird) to plant a seed in Polonius's head.
"Brevity is the soul of wit" Polonius, because the news is good it confirms Claudius and his own righteousness. He uses that to call hamlet mad since Claudius is happy and secure at the moment. 
Gertrude understood why hamlet is upset but then second-guessed herself when Polonius presented a love letter from hamlet to Ophelia.
"Though this be madness, yet there is method in it." Polonius 
Hamlet is acting mad towards Polonius, claiming not to know him. 
"For there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so" hamlet 
"What a piece of work is a man!" Hamlet
Hamlet is suspicious of rodencrantz and guildenburt coming to him. He knows they were sent my Claudius and gert 
"The play's the thing wherein I'll catch the conscious of the king." Hamlet 
"I'll have these players play something like the murder iof my father before mine uncle" hamlet, the play within the play. 
"Alas poor yorick! I knew him, horatio:a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy." Hamlet 
The dog will have his day.
