    “And DANTE searched the triple spheres,
    Moulding nature at his will,

    Etched on Alp and Apennine.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Or shatter too with him my curious frame:
    And let these wither, so that he may die,
    Though set with Skill and chosen out with Care.
    That they, while Thou on both their Spoils dost tread,
    May crown thy Feet, that could not crown thy Head.”
    —Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)
