King of Infinite Space

Helen Waddell (1889-1965), The Wandering Scholars (6th ed. 1932; rpt. Garden City: Doubleday & Company, Inc., 1961), p. 41:
His [Bede's] cell at Jarrow, and the books that Benedict Biscop brought in so many journeys to Rome, bounded him in a nutshell and made him king of infinite space.
Hat tip: Eric Thomson.
