The Tempest The Greek mythos looks down upon an arena of little lives. Prospero. Like the baseless fabric of this vision / The cloud-capp'd towers, 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. date July 2019 role Miranda
