rounded w. a sleep

"We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep."
Shakespeare's The Tempest
Act 4, scene 1, 148–158


In his book Religion and Science, Albert Einstein (1879-1955) wrote: "Individual existence impresses man as a sort of prison and he wants to experience the universe as a single significant whole." To Einstein this mysterious, "cosmic religious feeling" was "[t]he most beautiful experience we can have. ... It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science."
