Poetry of Shakespeare

William Shakespeare
born 1564, died 1616

The Poet

(from "a midsummer-night's dream")

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,
Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven;
And, as imagination bodies forth
The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen
Turn them to shapes, and gives airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
