Lifes Brief Candle
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. Out, out brief candle!

That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more; it is a tail
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing
William Shakespeare
