Macbeth, with the murder on his mind, has a vision.
"Is this a dagger I can see... see but cannot touch?
The hilt is turned toward my hand, but still... I cannot clutch.
It is a dagger... of the mind to lead me to his room
Although unreal, it's like the one I draw to seal his doom."
He draws his dagger.
"I must move soft, that no one hears my footsteps on the stone
In silence then I make my way, my presence never known..."
A bell rings.
"The signal sounds, the time has come for Duncan... it's a knell
I go... it's done, I send him now to heaven, or... to hell."
He enters the room.
