A man may fish with the worm

A man may fish with the worm

“A man may fish with the worm that hath eat of a King, and eat of the fish that hath fed of that worm” Sold

Act 4, Scene 3, The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark

 

Hamlet says this to King Claudius in one of his fits. 

Powerful shall not stay powerful, the living shall not be living forever. Everything is connected to everything else. The chain of life continues to thrive.

The movement of the fishes in the backdrop of ephemeral blue symbolizes eternity. The worldly red worms emphasize that the time is passing.
