“The poets eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poets pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.”

Substance, and people planets of its own
With beings brighter than have been, and give
A breath to forms which can outlive all flesh.”
