Coleridge put it: The poet in his lone yet genial hour Gives to his eyes a magnifying power: Or rather he emancipates his eyes >From the black shapeless accidents of size? In unctuous cones of kindling coal, Or smoke upwreathing from the pipe's trim bole, His gifted ken can see Phantoms of sublimity. ('Apologia pro Vita Sua', revised version of 'The Poet's Eye')
