• To Helen Helen, thy beauty is to me Like those Nicean barks of yore That gently, o'er a perfumed sea, The weary, way-worn wanderer bore To his own native shore. On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece, And the grandeur that was Rome. Lo, in yon brilliant window-niche How statue-like I see thee stand, The agate lamp within thy hand, Ah! Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!

  Edgar Allan Poe

• O, when I am safe in my sylvan home,
  I mock at the pride of Greece and Rome;
  And when I am stretch'd beneath the pines
  When the evening star so holy shines,
  I laugh at the lore and pride of man,
  At the Sophist's schools, and the learned clan;
  For what are they all in their high conceit,
  When man in the bush with God may meet?

  Ralph Waldo Emerson
