Detailed explanation-1: -A line from the play The Tempest, by William Shakespeare; it continues, “and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep.” It is spoken by the magician Prospero.
Detailed explanation-2: -“We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”
Detailed explanation-3: -’We are such stuff / As dreams are made on, and our little life / Is rounded with a sleep. ‘ These lines appear in Shakespeare’s The Tempest, in one of Prospero’s most famous speeches (’Our revels now are ended’).
Detailed explanation-4: -“We are such stuff as dreams are made on” is a quote that is used to describe the illusory nature of life. Prospero understands, perhaps due to his common use of magic, that life is a dream. He creates spirits to entertain Miranda and Ferdinand before the wedding and makes them vanish just as quickly.
