William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar
"Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears..."[1] are the starting words of Mark Antony's famous speech during Act III, scene ii of the play. Simply put, Antony asks those he addresses to listen to what he has to say. Ears are part of the whole human body. However, Antony does not require his countrymen's physical ears; rather, he requires what they represent: their attention.
