Lovers and Madmen
The lunatic, the lover, and the poet.
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold, that is, the madman.
The lover, all as frantic, seeing Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt.
The poet's eye doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven,
and as imagination bodies forth things unknown, the poet's pen turns
them into shapes and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a name.
-A Midsummer Night's Dream, William Shakespeare [Abridged]
