We are such stuff as dreams are made on

[KurtNYC]

We are such stuff as dreams are made on
and our little lives
are rounded with a sleep.
- Wm. Shakespeare

How does he get so much into one fairly simple sentence?

Aspiration, inspiration, mortality, futility -- it still amazes me.

[Burma Jones]

1. I got to play Prospero once in College

What a privilege, the entire role is so enlightening....

a little more of the speech:

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-capp'd towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yes, and all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a wrack behind: We are such stuff
As dreams are made of, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
