This scene from "MacBeth" depicts MacBeth's visit to the witches' cave to learn about the mysterious prophecy that they had made to him.

I finished reading this on 2/4/05 ... and then we saw the play performed at our local theater. This was a great Shakespeare tragedy. This has been used in so many other books ... Terry Pratchett and Lilian Jackson Braun to only name two.
