This Goodly Frame, The Earth, Seems To Me A Sterile Promontory

HomeFortune CookiesMiscellaneous Collections

This goodly frame, the earth, seems to me a sterile promontory; this
most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament,
this majestical roof fretted with golden fire, why, it appears no
other thing to me than a foul and pestilent congregation of vapours.
What a piece of work is a man! how noble in reason! how infinite in
faculty! in form and moving how express and admirable! in action how
like an angel! in apprehension how like a god!
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Hamlet
-- Act ii, Sc. 2
