Definition
a high point of land or rock that overlooks land at lower elevation — often a rocky one that juts out into the sea
- I have of late,—but wherefore I know not,—lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire,—why, it appears no other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.2.2 — Act 2 Scene 2 — A room in the Castle (50% in)
