type a line you remember from any book: "Had I the heavens embroidered cloths / the blue and the dim and the dark cloths"

a random lyric: "I believe that we'll conceive to make in hell for us a heaven.
A brave new world. A promised land.
A fortitude of hearts and minds.
Until I see this kingdom is mine,
I'll turn the darkness into light.
I'll guide the blind.
My will be done until the day I see this kingdom has been won."
