Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
WILLIAM WORDSWORTH

The softest breeze to fairest flowers gives birth: Think not that Prudence dwells in dark abodes, She scans the future with the eye of gods.

A voice so thrilling ne’er was heard. Breaking the silence of the seas Among the farthest Hebrides.
