“Go on, high ship, since now, upon the shore,
The snake has left its skin upon the floor.
Key West sank downward under massive clouds
And silvers and greens spread over the sea. The moon
Is at the mast-head and the past is dead.”

“For that fine madness still he did retain
Which rightly should possess a poet’s brain.”
—Michael Drayton (1563–1631)
