"Our revels are now 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 capped towers the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples,the great globe itself,
Yea all which it inherit, shall disolve,
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"
William Shakespeare, The Tempest Act 5 Scene 1
Private View: Friday 22nd May 2009 7:30pm
