LIFES BRIEF CANDLE
To-morrow, and to-morrow and to-morrow
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!
Lifes 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 taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
