The chariot, towering, threads the fiery sphere,
And rises thence into the lunar reign.
This, in its larger part they find as clear,
As polished steel, when undefiled by stain;

And such it seems, or little less, when near,
As what the limits of our earth contain:
Such as our earth, the last of globes below,
Including seas, which round about it flow.

Taken from the early 1500's poem, "Orlando Furioso", by the Italian poet and diplomat, Ludovico Ariosto. We found it fitting to name these knobs and pulls of strong character and design after him.
