What is this passage from Shakespeare King Lear saying?

What do these Shakespeare quotes mean (King Lear)?

  • Could you help me really understand what the deeper meaning behind any of these is: A still-soliciting eye, and such a tongue That I am glad I have not, though not to have it Hath lost me in your liking. (1.1.230) "Love is not love When it is mingled with regards that stand Aloof from the entire point" Let not women's weapons, water-drops, Stain my man's cheeks! (2.4.277) Lear I tax not you, you elements, with unkindness; "I never gave you kingdom, called you children, You owe me no subscription: then, let fall Your horrible pleasure; here I stand, your slave, A poor, infirm, weak, and despised old man." Lear again
