Shakespeare’s The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1

2. Our revels now are ended
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 towers, the gorgeous palaces, The solemn temples, the great globe itself, Ye 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.
Sir, I am vex'd; Bear with my weakness; my, brain is troubled… a turn or two I'll walk, To still my beating mind. (The Tempest, Act 4, Scene 1)

3. Our revels (partying…the Bunny Hop) now are ended These our actors (Susan aka Stargirl, Leo, Dori Dilson, Archie, et al) as I foretold you Are melted into air, into thin air

4. And like the baseless fabric of this vision (it’s not real) The cloud-capp’d towers, the gorgeous palaces/ The solemn temples, the great globe itself/ Yea all which it inherit, shall dissolve (what is beautiful and real to us now will disappear)

5. And like this insubstantial pageant faded (the whole thing wasn’t made to last, and it’s faded away) Leave not a rack behind. (Not a single thing remains of what we experienced)

6. We are such stuff as dreams are made on And our little life is rounded with a sleep. (Our lives produce dreams and then it’s over)

7. …my brain is troubled…a turn or two I’ll walk, To still my beating mind.
