WHAT A PIECE OF
WORK IS A MAN!
HOW NOBLE IN
REASON, HOW IN-
FINITE IN FACULTY!
IN FORM AND MOVING
HOW EXPRESS AND
ADMIRABLE! IN ACTION
HOW LIKE AN ANGEL,
IN APPREHENSION
HOW LIKE A GOD! -THE
BEAUTY OF THE WORLD,
THE PARAGON OF ANI-
MALS. AND YET, TO ME,


Middle layer
WHAT IS
THIS QUIN-
TESSENCE
OF DUST?
MAN DE-
LIGHTS
NOT ME.


Top layer

LIKE A GOD
