The lines largely emphasise the fleeting nature of human existence and experience. Phrases such as “melted into air” and “like the baseless fabric of this vision” convey the idea that the revels and the world itself are temporary and illusory. Prospero refers to grand structures and the associated institutions such as the kings and their kingdoms, the clergy and their temples, etc, which are monumental but will come to an end eventually, just like mankind itself.
