“Are you sure/That we are awake? It seems to me/That yet we sleep, we dream”
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
“I know a bank where the wild thyme blows,
William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows,
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses and with eglantine.”
“Lovers and madmen have such seething brains,
Shakespeare William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream
Such shaping fantasies, that apprehend
More than cool reason ever comprehends.
The lunatic, the lover and the poet
Are of imagination all compact:
One sees more devils than vast hell can hold,
That is, the madman: the lover, all as frantic,
Sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt:
The poet’s eye, in fine frenzy rolling,
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.”
