The Collected Works of William Hazlitt (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Collected Works of William Hazlitt

The lunatic, the lover, and the poet of imagination all compact. One sees more devils than vast hell can hold The madman. While the lover all as Helen's beauty in a brow of Egypt The poet's eye in a fine frenzy rolling, Dorh glance from heav'n to earth, from earth to heav'n; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name. Such tricks hath strong imagination.'
