In The tragedy of Macbeth, three witches give a prophecy to Macbeth (a Scottish general) saying that he will be King of Scotland. Ambitiously influenced by his wife, they planned on killing the king and taking the throne to himself. Although just before putting the plan to work, he started to fell suffocated by the guilt he will carry saying:  

"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood

Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather

The multitudinous seas in incarnadine,

Making the green one red."

Meaning that even the numerous, or multitudinous (letter A) seas, will not wash off his guilt.

Even so, his wife managed to bring him back to plan, murdering the king, putting the guilt of it on others and becoming the king himself.

Macbeth says that even the numerous, or multitudinous seas, will not wash off his guilt.

Explanation: In Act 2, scene 2, and after murdering Duncan, Macbeth expresses that he feels extremely guilty for the crime he has committed. He says: "Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather /The multitudinous seas incarnadine /Making the green one red." Therefore, what he intends to express is that not even the vast water from the seas will be able to wash the blood from his hands or to make him clean again.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
