Vates [poets, seers] are so called from vi mentis [by force of the mind]; or from viendis [plaiting, weaving, bending] poems...poets were once called vates in Latin, and their writings vaticinia [prophecies], because they were moved in writing by some force and, as it were, by madness; Because of their madness, prophets also had the same name, and because they too often produced their things in verse. -Isidore of Seville, "De Poetis" translated by Pamela Macfie
