It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing.
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, Shakes so my single state of man That function is smothered in surmise, And nothing is but what is not.

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.

It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

So foul and fair a day I have not seen.

Stars hide your fires; let not light see my black and deep desires: The eyes wink at the hand; yet let that be which the eye fears, when it is done, to see
Receive what cheer you may. The night is long that never finds the day.
My hands are of your color, but I shame to wear a heart so white.
Fair is foul, and foul is fair, hover through fog and filthy air.
Stars, hide your fires; Let not light see my black and deep desires.
