Shakespeare - DianaRing - 04-16-2020
William Shakespeare was one of the greatest writers of all time. His mind worked on so many different levels at once - writing poetically, metaphorically and historically to create some of mankind's greatest works of literature.
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
