Lay on, Macduff,Īnd damn’d be him that first cries, ‘Hold, enough!’ To kiss the ground before young Malcolm’s feet,Īnd to be baited with the rabble’s curse.Īnd thou opposed, being of no woman born, Macduff, as he fights Macbeth to the death:

The death of each day’s life, sore labour’s bath,īalm of hurt minds, great nature’s second course, Sleep that knits up the ravell’d sleeve of care, Macbeth does murder sleep’, the innocent sleep,
Methought I heard a voice cry ‘Sleep no more! If it were done when ’tis done, then ’twere well Look like the time, bear welcome in your eye, Your face, my thane, is as a book where men It is too full o’ the milk of human kindness. Lady Macbeth, when pondering her husband’s potential abandonment of their plan for pity of King Duncan: I love this rhyme, when King Duncan executes the Thane of Cawdor for treason and promotes Macbeth:Īnd when the sentence is executed and the death reported back: Ray Bradbury did not invent that phrase 🙂įirst Witch. Round about the cauldron go I’ve captured some of my favorite lines below. You may not have read Macbeth, but you probably know some of the famous lines, and the story itself: Macbeth, egged on by his wife Lady Macbeth and 3 Witches who foretell his future, kills King Duncan and usurps the throne, and embarks on a killing spree to cement his rule. Since I was going to see Macbeth and hadn’t read it since high school (or never?), I decided to read it on my last plane ride. Much of the production was “modern” – the witches wear normal street clothes, Banquo is dispatched by a handgun, Bond (err, Macbeth) wears a fur coat that would not look out of place on a rapper…all good fun. But soon the smoke was roiling, the lights were flashing, the walls were moving, and the play took on a much more cinematic experience than I expected. The stage at first glance appeared quite sparse and I expected a “small” Shakespeare. Negga’s Lady Macbeth was absolutely outstanding. He seemed quite joyful and touched by the crowd’s response afterwards. His Macbeth was a wonderful far cry from his Bond. Daniel Craig provided a fair bit of cognitive dissonance for me, as I know him mostly as Bond. Lots of interesting architecture including the new Hudson Yards. We took a walk on The Highline, which is very nice – a kind of mini-Central Park, near where our boat-based Architecture tour departed. Here’s some Greek stuff: Priam begging for his son Hector’s body, a grotesque, Hercules wearing a lion… We’re going to Greece and Rome in the fall, so we were excited to see the Met’s collection of Greek and Roman art and sculpture, as well as another visit to the Arms & Armory room: Indeed the entire museum is essentially created from spare parts from medieval Europe, including the famous Unicorn tapestry, illustrated manuscripts, gilded wine glasses, a delightful courtyard and nearly entire chapels. The Cloisters is the home of our semi-canine friend above, as well as amazing medieval art, stained glass and building elements from Europe. And in addition we visited The Cloisters in uptown New York City, the best museum nobody knows about. We also snuck in visits to the Metropolitan Museum to look at their Greek & Roman stuff, as well as their current exhibition of the French painter Jacques-Louis David (you will say that you do not know him, as I did….wait for it …. We had a chance to see Daniel Craig of 007 James Bond fame play Macbeth in an off-Broadway production with Oscar nominee Ruth Negga. Just came back from an amazing trip to New York with our good friends T- and L. We’ll have thee, as our rarer monsters are, And live to be the show and gaze o’ the time:
