Actually, if I remember rightly the partial quotation says: "Double, double,
toil and trouble, cauldron burn and cauldron bubble". When I was around
twelve, The talking book program had a full cast recording of Macbeth
starring Alec Guinness as Macbeth and Pamela Brown as Lady Macbeth. I don't
know why, but I listened to that play a lot and was haunted by such lines as
"Sleep no more! Macbeth has murder'd sleep" and "Out, out, damn'd spot! Out
I say!" Nobody had to coerce me into reading or listening to Shakespeare. I
suppose I was fascinated by the language, then I got caught in the plots.
Regards, Kim.

Hi Debby,
The boil, boil, toil and trouble thingy is from MacBeth. From the three
witches.
To satisfy your yen for trivial knowledge.

Hi Jamie!
Bubble, Bubble, toil and trouble,
In the caldren, boil and bubble!
Isn't that from a fairy tale? Hansel and Grettle, perhaps?
I must be getting punchy due to the late hour, (smile).
Yes, we hear the boiling sound.
I had a very cool experience recently, so, I know what boiling water would
feel like cool. We got some food from Omaha Steaks delivered about two
months ago. They pack it in a cooler with dry ice. Bruce, being the
scientist that he is, (he majored in physics education as an undergrad), he
put the chunk of dry ice in a bowl and ran warm water over it to cover.
That thing "boiled" cooly. I mean the temperature of the water was
bathwater warm, but the sound was a rolling boil and when I put my hand in
the water, it was bubbling wildly, so that is how I know what a boil would
feel like in a literally cool way. It really fogged the dry ice, Bruce
said. I bet that is how the foley artists made boiling sounds when the mad
scientist was working in his lab or the witch was making her brew.
