Grocott & Ward, comps. Grocott’s Familiar Quotations, 6th ed. 189-?.

Frenzy

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 to shapes, and gives to airy nothing
A local habitation and a name.
Shakespeare.—Midsummer Night’s Dream, Act V. Scene 1. (Theseus.)
