I
have almost forgot the taste of fears.
The time has been my senses would have cooled
To hear a night-shriek, and my fell of hair
Would at a dismal treatise rouse and stir
As life were in't: I have supped full with horrors;
Direness, familiar to my slaughterous thoughts,
Cannot once start me. Macbeth, 5. 5
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!
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. Macbeth, 5. 5
I
'gin to be aweary of the sun,
And wish the estate o' the world were now undone.
Ring the alarum-bell! Blow, wind! come, wrack!
At least we'll die with harness on our back. Macbeth, 5. 5
Those
clamorous harbingers of blood and death. Macbeth, 5. 6.
I
bear a charmed life. Macbeth, 5. 8
Macduff
was from his mother's womb
Untimely ripped. Macbeth,
5. 7
Lay
on, Macduff,
And damned be him that first cries, "Hold, enough!"
Macbeth, 5. 8
