I am not an expert, but seems to me the genius of Shakespeare is to pack greek insights into beautiful images and scenes. Like in this excerpt from Macbeth, which is beautiful way to pack Horace's so much quoted Carpe Diem, as shown in this Barry very emotional scene.

Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more.

William Shakespeare
By the way, Barry is a great TV show. I love the edit and the performances of this scene from "Chapter Seven: Loud, Fast, and Keep Going"
