C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Dissolution

  • Like the baseless fabric of this vision,
  • The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
  • The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
  • Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve;
  • And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
  • Leave not a rack behind.
  • Shakespeare.
