Poet, May 20, 1775 (originally published); published 1809. 'The Poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rowling, Doth 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'. (Midsummer Night's Dream, Act V, Scene 1).
