Hi! This is from Macbeth:
Present fears / Are less than horrible imaginings:
My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical, /Shakes so my single state of man that function
Is smother'd in surmise, and nothing is / But what is not.
Here, I doubt what 'nothing is but what is not' exactly means.
Does it mean 'what I see is only nothing'?
Thanks for your help in advance.
