Creep into thy narrow bed, Creep, and let no more be said! Vain thy onset! all stands fast. Thou thyself must break at last. Let the long contention cease! Geese are swans, and swans are geese. Let them have it how they will! Thou art tired; best be still.

-Arnold, Matthew

   Here! creep, Wretch, under a comfort serves in a whirlwind: all Life death does end and each day dies with sleep.

-Gerard Manley Hopkins
  'No worst, there is none'.

Sir, the insolence of wealth will creep out.
