    “Endlessly, time-honoured irritant,

    Burst it as fast as we can
    It will grow again, until we begin dying.”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    “Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.”
    —Bible: Hebrew Exodus, 20:8-11.
