No greater truth was ever written...
Act 5, Scene 1
SCENE I. A churchyard.
HAMLET
No, faith, not a jot; but to follow him thither with modesty enough, and likelihood to lead it: as thus: Alexander died, Alexander was buried, Alexander returneth into dust; the dust is earth; of earth we make loam; and why of that loam, whereto he was converted, might they not stop a beer-barrel? Imperious Caesar, dead and turn'd to clay, Might stop a hole to keep the wind away: O, that that earth, which kept the world in awe, Should patch a wall to expel the winter flaw!
And the Great Emperor ends up, not keeping the winter wind out of my house, or as a cork in a beer barrel... but as the handle of a letter opener resting in my room.
