Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in the petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted tools
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 is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
