These words were spoken by Theseus, from Shakespeare’s “A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. Three unlikely companions, but they all have jobs to do in their unique worlds, and they don’t waste any time. They are up early, doing what they must to ensure the survival of their species. Can they survive humankind though? Do they observe us in their own way ... and wonder why? SF
