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)

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