Then, now, tomorrow

Partly
We said
Because of all the good things
Partly
We said
Because we had no choice

If we lack free will
We said
We’re glad that this is what’s fated
If we’re forever still
We said
We’re spoken in forever’s voice

borrowed words

What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet, to me, what is this quintessence of dust?

— Hamlet Act 2, Scene 2
