In Memory of Ancestors and Kin
of Michael and Rebecca McGoodwin |
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air;
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
(Prospero in The Tempest)

He was a man, take him for all in all, I shall not look upon his like again.

So mixed in him that Nature might stand up
And say to all the world 'This was a man!'

Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds,
Is fit for treasons
