Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not be forever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust: Thou know'st tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Good Hamlet, cast thy nighted color off, And let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark. Do not be forever with thy vailed lids Seek for thy noble father in the dust: Thou know'st tis common; all that lives must die, Passing through nature to eternity." in the context of "William Shakespeare, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (Between 1599 and 1601), Act I, scene 2, spoken by the character Gertrude" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
