  John Howard Payne
Of Payne's appearance at this period a contemporary wrote: "Nature bestowed upon him a countenance of no common order, and though there was a roundness and fairness which but faintly express strong turbulent emotions or display the furious passions, these defects were supplied by an eye which glowed with animation and intelligence.
In 1832 Payne returned to the United States, receiving several substantial benefits in New York and elsewhere, and in 1841 was appointed American consul at Tunis, which office he held at the time of his death.
Payne's restlessness did not end with his life, and three decades after his death his dust was borne across the ocean to find its final repose in the capital of his native land.

The stream of time, which is continually washing the dissoluble fabricks of other poets, passes without injury by the adamant of Shakespeare.
He made no attempt to separate the poetry from the personality of the poet, and if he disliked the personality, he frankly coloured his criticism with his dislike.
His criticism of the poem is distorted by his fundamental distrust of the anarchical temperament of the poet— but it did not weaken his belief in Milton's greatness.

Lennon’s appearance at the concert, alongside Black Panther Bobby Seale, poet Allen Ginsberg and inaugural yuppie Jerry Rubin, was monitored by the FBI, which knew the event would draw wide attention to the Sinclair case and had planted informants in the audience.
On that last score, THE U.S. JOHN LENNON offers up the singer’s famous, filmed confrontation with the ludicrously snotty New York Times writer Gloria Emerson, who calls Lennon 'dear boy' as he heatedly attempts to defend the role of the artist in political discourse.
He was vindicated, his case played a major part in Nixon’s eventual resignation, and we’re all a little bit transformed if for that reason alone.

 Hafiz of Shiraz: An Introduction
Almost 40 years ago, Paul Smith, a young poet, first saw the name of Hafiz in a book about the Spiritual Master Meher Baba in which he stated, ‘There is no equal to Hafiz in Poetry.
But, he thought, if Hafiz is such a great poet then he would study poetry from the best and spent the following eight years collecting and reading the 100 attempts in English that had appeared including two complete versions of Hafiz’s Divan, one literal by Wilberforce Clarke and one rhyming by John Payne.
The instant that he did the Divine Presence of Hafiz appeared and admonished him for trying to do them by himself and for himself and was told to pick up the pen again and he would be shown how they could be done, to become a vessel for their appearance in English.

John, on the other hand, is limiting the term to a specific genre of music - rock music with a very heavy classical influence and an overall obscure, mystical, and most often bombastic atmosphere around it.
That's what I usually understand as 'progressive' as well; it's better to limit the term so that it wouldn't be confused with 'art-rock' in general, which, in my understanding, is a far wider sphere of music (basically, 'prog' is one of the numerous form of 'art-rock').
Also, John is right in saying there are only five 'widely acknowledged' prog bands.

 Charles Wisner Barrell - Dr. John Dover Wilson's "New" Macbeth
His Essential Bard is not the generally accepted son of the illiterate John and Mary Shakspere of Stratford-on-Avon, growing up to be the real-life replica of the "affluent and retired butcher" whose "air of stupid and self-complacent prosperity" dominates the celebrated bust in the Stratford church.
The author of this unique Shakespearean source manuscript was the Scottish poet, William Stewart, an illegitimate relative of the James Stewart who as King James IV married Margaret Tudor, daughter of Henry VII and Elizabeth of York, and sister of Henry VIII.
Should Dr. Wilson be inclined to scoff at this conclusion, we respectfully refer him to the evidence which proves Oxford's literary nickname of the Shakespearean era to have been "Gentle Master William" 7 —and to much other ammunition of equally revolutionary caliber in the Oxfordian arsenal.
