TOIL & TROUBLE Shakespeare reconstructed by Bibbi Moslet and Cecilie Ore Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
(Macbeth)
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) And so, from hour to hour, we ripe and ripe, And then from hour to hour, we rot and rot; And thereby hangs a tale.
(As You Like It)
As flies to wanton boys, are we to the gods; They kill us for their sport.
(King Lear)
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
(Macbeth)
When we are born we cry that we are come to this great stage of fools.
(King Lear)
If you have tears, prepare to shed them now.
(Julius Caesar)
When sorrows come, they come not single spies, But in battalions. (Hamlet) Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
(Macbeth)
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore, So do our minutes hasten to their end.
(Sonnet 60)
We are such stuff As dreams are made on, and our little life Is rounded with a sleep.
(The Tempest)
The rest is silence. (Hamlet) Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble.
(Macbeth)
