Then the muted sounds of battle surrounds us, and we creep into ourselves and stare wide-eyed into the night.”

“PROSPERO: Veseo budi. Na拧a zabava
Svr拧ena je sada. Na拧i su igra膷i
Duhovi bili, i i拧膷ezli su sad
U nevidljivi vazduh. Ko nesu拧tastveno
Tkivo te vizije, tako 膰e i kule
Visoke, i divni dvorci, i sve膷ani
Hramovi, i sama lopta zemljina,
I sve na njoj, nestati ko ova
I拧膷ezla, nestvarna povorka, i ne膰e
Za sobom nikakav ostaviti trag.
Mi smo gra膽a od koje se prave
Snovi, i na拧 mali 啪ivot nam je snom
Zaokru啪en. (...)”
