But now she sucks her thumb and wanders by the banks of her own lagoon.
My liege and madam, to expostulate
What majesty should be, what duty is,
Why day is day, night night, and time is time,
Were nothing but to waste night, day, and time.
Therefore, since brevity is the soul of wit,
And tediousness the limbs and outward flourishes,
I will be brief.
--Polonius (Hamlet II.ii.86-92)
