Hay-Ku of the Day (Glassy Essence)

[Rich Note: Companion image may be viewed at rfhay333.gather.com.]

(1663 Shakespeare Engraving)

1663 Shakespeare Engraving (from The Holloway Pages); “Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury signifying nothing." — Macbeth; Companion haiku: Accompanying.

The "Glassy Essence"
Shakespeare referred to is the
Consciousness I Am.

[Rich Note: “But man, proud man, drest in a little brief authority, most ignorant of what he’s most assured, his glassy essence, like an angry ape, plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven as make the angels weep” (Measure for Measure. Act ii. Sc. 2.).]
