    Oh! joyous hearts! enfired with holy flame!
    Is speech thus tasseled with praise?
    Will not your inward fire of joy contain:
    That it in open flames doth blaze?
    For in Christ’s coach saints sweetly sing,
    As they to glory ride therein.
    Edward Taylor (1645–1729)

    No man was ever yet a great poet, without being at the same time a profound philosopher.
    —Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772–1834)
