"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke." Bob dylan

"Macbeth: Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day; to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! 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."
Shakespeare

Nihilism?!
Its not surprising that Aldous Huxley's last words in print were about Shakespeare;finally,"Tomorrow and Tomorrow..."Huxley's last volume of essays, owes a small debt to Macbeth's soliloquies (Act 5, sc.5).


Macbeth later echoes in "Waiting for Godot" (Pozzo's speech about the brevity and apparent meaningless of existence)are we suspended for one flickering instant between the birth and the grave.

As human beings we're all clinging to the hope of some kind of salvation, some kind of Godot to come and save us from whatever intolerable moment we happen to be suffering.This waiting is what prevents our passages, our meaningful transformations, our growth.

I (still) belive that God have mercy.

"All along the watchtower" é uma grande canção do Dylan mas o seu grande intérprete é o Hendrix.
Tinha de dizer isto ;)
