The Renaissance3 quotes
I am giddy; expectation whirls me round.
Th' imaginary relish is so sweet
That it enchants my sense. — William Shakespeare · 1603O, who can hold a fire in his hand
By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?
Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite
By bare imagination of a feast?
Or wallow naked in December snow
By thinking on fantastic summer’s heat? — William Shakespeare · 1595They are ill discoverers that think there is no land, when they can see nothing but sea. — Francis Bacon · 1605
