Macbeth: Life's but a walking shadow

Life's But A Walking Shadow
 From Shakespeare's Macbeth, Act V, Scene V
Speech by Macbeth
Animation, research & design by Rick Doble.

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.

Earth Day 2016, April 22

 We 
  only  
    have    
     1     
     Earth     


 Don't 
   throw   
     it     
       away       


No society has ever yet been able to handle the temptations of technology...
We have to learn to cherish this Earth and cherish it as something that's fragile, that's only one, it's all we have. We have to use our scientific knowledge to correct the dangers that have come from science and technology.
Margaret Mead
