Musing [ mju:zing ] (verb) – To think about something in a dreamy and abstracted way

Minstrels [ min·strels ] – medieval reciters of poetry, whose lyrics told stories of distant places, imaginary objects and events. Many minstrels were expelled from courts, usually for being offensive, and wandered about as raconteurs of tales, in public places. Not all of them played the harp as accompaniment to their verse.

If Galileo had said in verse that the world moved, the inquisition might have left him alone.

Thomas Hardy

A picture is a poem without words.

Horace
