But if one only can blossom, that one is able to scatter Even a bright living world, filled with creations eterne

Schiller, Different Destinies

Being once perfected how to grant suits, How to deny them, who t' advance and who To trash for overtopping, new created The creatures that were mine, I say —or changed 'em, Or else new formed 'em

Shakespeare, The Tempest, Act 1, Scene 2
