Originators like Thomas Campbell:

Britannia needs no bulwarks,
No towers along the steep;
Her march is o'er the mountain waves,
Her home is on the deep.

And rustic life and poverty
Grow beautiful beneath his touch.

Without the smile from partial beauty won,
Oh what were man? — a world without a sun.
