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 God Almighty, full of sound and fury
Signifying everything.

— With apologies to William Shakespeare — Macbeth (Act 5, Scene 5, lines 17-28)
