“The play is done; the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter's bell A moment yet the actor stops And looks around to say farewell. It is an irksome word and task: And when he's laughed and said his say, He shows, as he removes the mask, A face that's anything but gay.”
William Makepeace Thackeray quotes (Indian born English Author and Novelist of 'Vanity Fair', 1811-1863)
