EDITOR'S NOTE
"Our revels now are ended"
Michael LoMonico says good-bye.

"While we continue exploring options for Shakespeare magazine's future, our relationship with our current sponsors, Georgetown University and Cambridge University Press, comes to an end with this issue. Once again I want to thank Michael Collins and Keith Rose for their support for the past seven years, and Peggy O'Brien for her continued support of this venture. Thanks also to our editors, staff, and Editorial Board, especially Jeanne Addison Roberts, who has been so helpful in shaping this magazine's direction and focus. And, of course, a special thanks to our devoted readers. We will, of course, continue to publish on www.shakespearemag.com ."

You do look, my son, in a moved sort,
As if you were dismayed: be cheerful, sir.
Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And, like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capped towers, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea all which it inherit, shall dissolve
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on, and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.

Prospero, The Tempest 4.1
