roots that clutch

What are the roots that clutch, what branches grow
Out of this stony rubbish? Son of man,
You cannot say, or guess, for you know only
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water.

TS Eliot

Would harrow up thy soul, freeze thy young blood,
Make thy two eyes, like stars, start from their spheres…

Hamlet, Act I, Scene 5

...I could a tale unfold...
