George Gordon, Lord Byron
I live not in myself, but I become Portion of that around me; and to me High mountains are a feeling, but the hum Of human cities torture: I can see Nothing to loathe in nature, save to be A link reluctant in a fleshly chain, Class'd among creatures, when the soul can flee, And with the sky--the peak--the heaving plain Of ocean, or the stars, mingle--and not in vain.
– ---Child Harold’s Pilgrimage

Goethe
"What you don't feel, you will not grasp by art, Unless it wells out of your soul And with sheer pleasure takes control, Compelling every listener's heart. But sit - and sit, and patch and knead, Cook a ragout, reheat your hashes, Blow at the sparks and try to breed A fire out of piles of ashes! Children and apes may think it great, If that should titillate your gum, But from heart to heart you will never create. If from your heart it does not come.“

Novalis
We dream of traveling through the universe - but is not the universe within ourselves? The depths of our spirit are unknown to us - the mysterious way leads inwards. Eternity with its worlds - the past and future - is in ourselves or nowhere.

George Gordon, Lord Byron
But soon he knew himself the most unfit Of men to herd with Man; with whom he held Little in common; untaught to submit His thoughts to others, though his soul was quell'd In youth by his own thoughts; still uncompell'd, He would not yield dominion of his mind To spirits against whom his own rebell'd; Proud though in desolation; which could find A life within itself, to breathe without mankind.
– From “Child Harold’s Pilgrimage”

Percy Bysshe Shelley
Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration, the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present, the words which express what they understand not, the trumpets which sing to battle and feel not what they inspire: the influence which is moved not, but moves. Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the World.

Immanuel Kant If we wish to discern whether anything is

Alphonse De Lemartine 1790-1869
“Then let us love, let us love! And the fleeting hoursLet us hasten to enjoy.We have no port, time itself has no shore;It glides by and we pass away.
Jealous time, will these moments of such intoxicationLove flooding us with overwhelming blissFly past us with the same speedAs dark and painful days?
