Summary

This quote from Shakespeare's play As You Like It suggests that life can be seen as a play, with people being the actors. People enter the stage (life) at birth and eventually leave (death), and throughout their lives, individuals assume various roles or parts as they age. The seven ages refer to the idea that individuals go through distinct stages from infancy to old age. The quote implies that life is a theatrical performance, highlighting the temporary nature of human existence and the ever-changing roles we play throughout our lives.

There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tower high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
