“In Phebus realm, in knowledge as in verse, All things are clear, the sun of Phoebus clear, Clear was his crystal, the Kastalian. What you cannot clearly say, you don’t know: To tongue of man his thought brings word: What’s said obscurely is what’s thought obscurely.”

“A glimpse of Breidablick, whose walls are light As e'en the silver on the cliff it shone; Of dark blue steel its columns azure height And the big altar was one agate stone. It seemed as if the air upheld alone Its dome, unless supporting spirits bore it, Studded with stars Odin's spangled throne, A light inscrutable burned fiercely o'er it; In sky-blue mantles, Sat the gold-crowned gods before it.”
