    “Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “All slang is metaphor, and all metaphor is poetry.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
