"What a piece of work is a man..."

Hamlet:
What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how

admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like
a god! the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals—and yet,
to me, what is this quintessence of dust? Man delights not me...".

Act 2 Scene 2
