Words to Live by
I know a bank whereon the wild thyme blows,
Where oxlips and the nodding violet grows
Quite over-canopied with luscious woodbine,
With sweet musk-roses, and with eglantine:
There sleeps Titania some time of the night,
Lull’d in these flowers with dances and delight
William Shakespeare (A Midsumer Night’s Dream)
Stumble it!

What a lovely stanza! And those Romantic poets thought they invented the genre!
