Hamlet: Do you see nothing there? Gertrude: Nothing at all; yet all that is I see.

Hamlet: Nor did you nothing hear?

Gertrude: No, nothing but ourselves.

Hamlet: Why, look you there! look, how it steals away;

My father, in his habit as he liv’d;

Look! where he goes, even now, out at the portal.

[Exit Ghost.]

–Hamlet,
William Shakespeare
