A big credit to @frodoskywalker for my riddle. Although the user did not write this riddle, one of their answers on this site served an inspiration. I will not show the particular answer, however, in order to not spoil the riddle, but I fully encourage you to visit the user's profile and check out their content.

Riddle me this:

I am heavier than a boulder,
For which I will never flow;
But I am lighter than the feather,
Of a raven or a crow.

I can be found in heated weather,
Where not often, it would snow.
My arm may look like driest leather,
Spraying water with a blow.

What am I?

Comparing mine arm to a tree,
Forsooth, it will be not a branch.
May thou solve for what I could be?
Try! sabotage not thy chance!

A man was so hight after me;
His real name was seldom spoken.
May thou solve for whom he could be?
His poem might have thee heartbroken.

My previous riddle proved too easy, so I have added the "Shakespeare vibe" in the hint above so as to make the riddle harder, hence why I included the wordplay and language tag.

Are you an

Elephant

I am heavier than a boulder, For which I will never flow;

Elephants are very heavy.

But I am lighter than the feather, Of a raven or a crow.

Maybe the shadow of which is used in a known puzzle(what is the same size as an elephant but weighs nothing). OR, as Jafe suggested in the comments, it could refer to the paler color of an elephant.
