Seyton. The Queen, my lord, is dead.
Macbeth. She should have died hereafter;
There would have been a time for such a word.—
Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
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.
(William Shakespeare (1564-1616), British dramatist, poet. Seyton and Macbeth, in Macbeth, act 5, sc. 5, l. 16-23.
