we defy augury

If it be now,
'tis not to come; if it be not to come, it will be
now; if it be not now, yet it will come: the
readiness is all: since no man has aught of what he
leaves, what is't to leave betimes?

-Hamlet, Act 5, Scene 2

(Saw the Wooster Group version last night in Dumbo, most excellently fine. A re- and further de-construction of a 1964 Richard Burton live film of the play. Directing, acting, technical effects, soundscape, all magnificent. Why, it hardly seemed like two and a half hours at all)
