English text
- 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)
