Yesterday, and Yesterday, and Yesterday

sorry, Macbeth

By Harper Lewis Published 5 months ago • Updated 5 months ago • 1 min read
Sir Patrick Stewart as Macbeth

Yesterday, and yesterday, and yesterday,

Flees further and faster night by maligning night,

To the first breath of existence;

And each of our tomorrows carries a shadow

From grave to cradle. Away, away eternal shade!

Love’s a shining beacon, a talented director,

Casting and calling players to the stage,

Raising the curtain to give the world a play

born of wit and candor, full of hope and joy

Everything meaningful.

About the Creator

Harper Lewis

Intrusive rhyme bothers me, except as a weapon.

Intertextuality is my passion.

Formalist/ New Critical are my guiding theories.

My words are mine, not a robot’s.

MA English literature, CofC
