Ahhhh…..Milton…..
Thou O Spirit, that dost prefer Before all Temples th’ upright heart and pure,
Instruct me, for Thou know’st; Thou from the first Wast present,
and with mighty wings outspread Dove-like satst brooding on the vast Abyss
And mad’st it pregnant: What in me is dark Illumine,
what is low raise and support; That to the highth of this great Argument
I may assert th’ Eternal Providence, And justifie the wayes of God to men.

The imagery here is fantastic (i.e., “satst brooding on the vast Abyss and mad’st it pregnant”). Aye, laddy, good choice to start the day.
