    “God gave Solomon very great wisdom, discernment, and breadth of understanding as vast as the sand on the seashore...”
    —Bible: Hebrew, 1 Kings 4:29.

    “The island dreams under the dawn
    And great boughs drop tranquillity;
    The peahens dance on a smooth lawn,
    A parrot sways upon a tree,
    Raging at his own image in the enamelled sea.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
