Where rose the mountains, there to him were friends;
Where roll'd the ocean, thereon was his home;
Where a blue sky, and glowing clime, extends,
He had the passion and the power to roam;

-Lord Byron,
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage: Canto the Third, 1816





Dwell

When on some gilded cloud, or flower
My gazing soul would dwell an hour

-Henry Vaughan, The Retreat





Innocence

Dost thou know who made thee?
Gave thee life & bid thee feed,
By the stream & o'er the mead;

-William Blake,
Songs of Innocence,
The Lamb
, 1785





Silent Light

And the bay was white with silent light,
Till rising from the same,
Full many shapes, that shadows were,
In crimson colors came.

-Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
The Rime of the Ancient Mariner
