The Tempest Act 4, scene 1



Prospero:

Our revels now are ended.

These our actors,

As I foretold you, were all spirits, and

Are melted into air, into thin air:

And like the baseless fabric of this vision,

The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,

The solemn temples, the great globe itself,

Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,

And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,

Leave not a rack behind.

We are such stuff

As dreams are made on; and our little life

Is rounded with a sleep.

daniel  kahneman,  he has some interesting insights, tho i don't agree with his overall view of time and the way he breaks it down into experience and memory, it's not invalid but he shys away from the recursion of experience being memory !
