    “Out, damned spot! out, I say!— One; two; why, then ’tis time to do’t.—Hell is
    murky! Fie, my lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we fear who knows it,
    when none can call our power to account?—Yet who would have thought the old man
    to have had so much blood in him?”

    “Is this a dagger which I see before me, And such an instrument I was to use.
    The handle toward my hand? Come, let Mine eyes are made the fools o’th’ other
    me clutch thee:— senses,
    I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Or else worth all the rest: I see thee still;
    Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of
    To feeling as to sight? or art thou but blood,
    A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Which was not so before.—There’s no
    Proceeding from the heat-oppressèd brain? such thing:
    I see thee yet, in form as palpable It is the bloody business which informs
    As this which now I draw. Thus to mine eyes.”
    Thou marshall’st me the way that I was

    My wife and children’s ghosts will haunt me still.
    I cannot strike at wretched kerns, whose arms
    Are hir’d to bear their staves; either thou, Macbeth,
    Or else my sword, with an unbatter’d edge,
    I sheathe again undeeded. There thou shouldst be;
    By this great clatter, one of greatest note
    Seems bruited:—Let me find him, fortune!
    And more I beg not.”

    SEYTON
    The Queen, my lord, is dead.
    MACBETH
    She should have died hereafter.
    There would have been a time for such a word.

    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.
