It is Ridiculous to Embelish Already Fantastic Things
Therefore, to be possess'd with double pomp,
To guard a title that was rich before,
To gild refined 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.
Notes:
This quote refers to adding additional pomp to a coronation, but it could also serve as a metaphor for adding supernatural aspects to wonderful natural phenomena.
