| Enter LADY MACBETH, alone, with a letter | |||
| “They met me in the day of success, and I have learned by the perfectest report they have more in them than mortal knowledge. When I burned in desire to question them further, they made themselves air, into which they vanished. Whiles I stood rapt in the wonder of it came missives from the king, who all-hailed me ‘Thane of Cawdor,’ by which title, before, these weird sisters saluted me, and referred me to the coming on of time with ‘Hail, king that shalt be!’ This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou might’st not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell.”From “Macbeth” by William Shakespeare | |||
| Lady Macbeth reads a letter written by her husband. He informs her of the witches’ prophesy that he would become “Thane of Cawdor’ and king. Ambition can destroy the human being. A husband can infuse it into his wife and a wife into her husband. “This have I thought good to deliver thee, my dearest partner of greatness, that thou might’st not lose the dues of rejoicing, by being ignorant of what greatness is promised thee. Lay it to thy heart, and farewell” We are bombarded with offers that pandered to our human ambition. I watched the devil sit in front of me at least three times in my lifetime. These devils dressed as businessmen and made wonderful proposals—too good to be the truth. But I was granted a sixth sense. It made me smell the sulfur in the air. Beware; every one of us faces a different devil. It is for us to blow their cover. |
