    Which is the bliss of solitude;
    And then my heart with pleasure fills,
    And dances with the daffodils.

    In faith, he is a worthy gentleman,
    Exceedingly well read, and profited
    In strange concealments, valiant as a lion,
    And wondrous affable, and as bountiful
    As mines of India.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
