Speech: "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow" Poem by William Shakespeare

Speech: "Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow"

Rating: 4.3


(from Macbeth, spoken by Macbeth)
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 an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Metaphorical read. Read twice to understand the ending!
