Thespian quotes

   Neat Marlowe, bathed in theThespian springs, Had in him those brave translunary things That the first poets had; his raptures were All air and fire, which made his verses clear, For that fine madness still he did retain Which rightly should possess a poet's brain.

- Michael Drayton
  'To My Most Dearly Loved Henry Reynolds, Esquire, of Poets and Poesie'.
