:To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
:Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
:Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
:Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
:To the last syllable of recorded time;
:To the last syllable of recorded time;
:And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
:And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
:The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle'
:The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle
:Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
:Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
:That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
:That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,

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.

Spoken by Macbeth in Act V Scene V of Macbeth by William Shakespeare (1564-1616)
