Comes like a

And music and men's praise and even laughter
Are not so good as rest.

T.S. Eliot - The Waste Land |

Till Alice got instruction in this school,
She was regarded as a silly fool,
Her
exercise
appeared to spin and sew:--
Not hers indeed, the hands alone would go;
For sense or wit had in it no concern;
Whate'er the foolish girl had got to learn,
No part therein could ever take the mind;
Her doll, for thought, was just as well designed.

Pushkin - Eugene Oneigin |

I rush there: when, at my feet, entwine (bruised
By the languor tasted in their being-two's evil)
Girls sleeping in each other's arms' sole peril:
I seize them without
untangling
them and run
To this bank of roses wasting in the sun
All perfume, hated by the frivolous shade
Where our frolic should be like a vanished day.
