To write or utter rhapsodies.

The word "rhapsodise" is derived from the noun "rhapsody", which can be traced back to Greek origins. In ancient Greece, a rhapsode (rhhapsodos in Greek) was a professional reciter of epic poems. These rhapsodes would travel from town to town, performing and improvising on well-known poetic works such as the Homeric epics, the Iliad and the Odyssey.
The term "rhapsody" developed from the Greek verb "rhaptein", meaning "to stitch" or "to sew". This verb was used metaphorically to refer to the art of stitching together different parts of poems to create a cohesive performance. Over time, the term "rhapsody" came to refer to any highly emotional or enthusiastic expression.
