L a Scie à main
« I am but mad north-north-west ; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw. »
« Je ne suis fou que par vent de nord-nord-ouest ; par vent du sud, je sais reconnaître un faucon d’un héron. »
« The imagery involves bad weather and hunting birds. Beyond the chaos, Hamlet is saying that he knows a hunting hawk from a hunted « handsaw » or heron. Hamlet means that he is able to distinguish his ennemies and friends. »
(« Handsaw is probably a corruption of dialect heronshaw, heron »)
