Poetry by Shakespeare ( The Tempest)

In our Moving Poetry Series we have reached back in time and gathered wisdom sayings from great poets, film from great cinematographers and sounds from gifted musicians and created a complex brew that nourishes the soul as it stimulates the mind. Designed to challenge, provoke and inspire, these poetry films hit on a broad spectrum of social, political and spiritual issues. Each poem has been crafted into a short film with its own unique image set and soundtrack. Mixing original footage with obscure gems from far and wide, you will be transported into a world of possibilities.
POEM
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd 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. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
