Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world

Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world

The quote "Tis now the very witching time of night, when churchyards yawn and hell itself breathes out contagion to this world" is from Act III, Scene II of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. This line is spoken by Hamlet's friend Horatio as they stand guard outside the castle of Elsinore, waiting for the ghost of King Hamlet to appear.
