A poet soaring in the high reason of his fancies, with his garland and singing robes about him. - John Milton

Not to know at large of things remote
From use, obscure and subtle, but to know
That which before us lies in daily life,
Is the prime wisdom.

Gabriel, to thee thy course by lot hath given
Charge and strict watch that to this happy place
No evil thing approach or enter in.

So hand in hand they passed, the loveliest pair that ever since in love's embraces met — Adam, the goodliest man of men since born his sons; the fairest of her daughters Eve.
