Casca:
i have seen tempests when the scolding winds
have rived the knotty oaks . .
but never till tonight, never till now,
did i go through a tempest dropping fire.
either there is a civil strife in heaven,
or else the world, too saucy with the gods,
incenses them to send destruction.

afraid of this storm because it is one of the worst of all he has experienced.

In this excerpt of TheTragedy of Julius Caesar, Casca is discussing the storm with Cicero. He believes that the storm is a bad omen, as he had never seen one quite like this. He claims that the storm was "dropping fire." His only explanation was that there was a war going on in heaven, or that the gods have decided to destroy our world.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
