Source: DRAMATISTS

To gild refin?d gold, to paint the lily,
To throw a perfume on the violet,
To smooth the ice, or add another hue
Unto the rainbow, or with taper-light
To seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish,
Is wasteful and ridiculous excess.

-- William Shakespeare, (Apr 23 1564-1616), English dramatist, poet; He is considered the greatest writer in any language for his 154 sonnets and 37 plays, e.g., Hamlet, 1600.
