Awake before the sun is risen, I call for my pen and papers and desk. - [Early Rising] For every house is incomplete without him, and a blessing is lacking in the spirit. - [Cats] Thus when a barber and collier fight, The barber beats the luckless collier--white; The dusty collier heaves his ponderous sack, And, big with vengeance, beats the barber--black. In comes the brick-dust man, with grime o'er spread, And beats the collier and the barber--red; Black, red, and white, in various clouds are toss'd, And in the dust they raise the combatants are lost. - A Trip to Cambridge, soliloquy of the Princess Periwinkle [Contention]
