In airy dalliance,
Precipitate in love....”

A world without a meaning, and had room,
Alone amid magnificence and doom,
To build himself an airy monument”

“But this rough magic
I here abjure, and when I have required
Some heavenly music—which even now I do—
To work mine end upon their senses that
This airy charm is for, I’ll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I’ll drown my book.”
