The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling, Doth glance from heaven to earth, from earth to heaven; And as imagination bodies forth The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen Turns them to shapes, and gives to airy nothing A local habitation and a name.

诗人的眼睛在奇妙的狂热中转动，从天空望向大地，又从大地望向天空；当想象赋予未知之物形貌，诗人的笔便使其成形，让虚无缥缈之物有了栖身之地和名字。
