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 turns them into shape, and gives to airy nothing a local habitation and a na. (William Shakespeare)

Submission to duty and God gives the highest energy. He, who has done the greatest work on earth, said that He came down from heaven, not to do His own will, but the will of Him who sent Him, Whoever allies himself with God is armed with all the forces of the invisible world. View quote
