In poetry and literature, 'skyed' can be used figuratively to describe the act of raising one's hopes or aspirations. For example, in Shakespeare's 'As You Like It', Jaques says, 'All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages. At first the infant, mewling and puking in the nurse's arms, then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel and shining morning face, creeping like snail unwilling to school. And then the lover, sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad made to his mistress' eye. Then a soldier, full of strange oaths, and bearded like the pard, jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrels, seeking the bubble reputation even in the cannon's mouth. And then the justice, in fair round belly, with a large and Saturnine leg, a boil that is in his own good time the head and signification of the state. And then the pantaloon, degenerate, paunchy, and given to pottering, with a bird in his hand, beshrewing his fellow-servants for trifles, 'tis an ill figure: and the same man in his own person, becomes the motley fool.
