If that the Earth could teem with woman's tears, each drop she falls would prove a crocodile

The line "If that the Earth could teem with woman's tears, each drop she falls would prove a crocodile" is from William Shakespeare's play "Othello". This powerful and evocative line is spoken by the character Othello, a Moorish general in the Venetian army, as he reflects on the betrayal and deceit he has experienced at the hands of his wife, Desdemona, and his ensign, Iago.
