Deluge

=Deluge=

Part of speech: Noun

Definition: A great flood or rain

Context: Responding to Lavinia's rape and cutting off his own hand, Titus says, "I am the sea; hark, how her sighs doth flow! / She is the weeping welkin, I the earth: / Then must my sea be moved with her sighs, / Then must my earth with her continual tears / Become a **deluge**, overflowed and drowned," (3.1.225-9). This is in reference to his own tears, and is hyperbole on how sad he is about all the tragedies that have happened to his family.

Other Uses:
 * deluge (verb) - to overflow with water
