The lunatic, the lover, and the poet
Are of imagination all compact.
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold;

Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
