    “Thus Pegasus, a nearer way to take,
    May boldly deviate from the common track.
    From vulgar bounds with brave disorder part,
    And snatch a grace beyond the reach of art,
    Which without passing through the judgment, gains
    The heart, and all its end at once attains.”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    “Everything comes to him
    From the middle of his field. The odor
    Of earth penetrates more deeply than any word.
    There he touches his being. There as he is
    He is.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “Now Morn her rosy steps in th’ eastern clime
    Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
