“Oftentimes to win us to
our harm
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest consequence.”—Banquo to Macbeth, upon hearing the prophesies of the three witches, in English playwright-poet William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Macbeth, Act I, Scene 3 (1606-07).
The image accompanying
this post, Macbeth, Banquo and the witches on the heath, was created by
England-based Swiss painter Henry Fuseli (1741–1825).
