Excerpt from an Essay on Man Alexander Pope (1733), poem Let Power or Knowledge, Gold or Glory, please, Or (oft more strong than all) the love of ease; Through life it is followed, even at life’s expense; The merchant’s toil, the sage’s indolence, The monk’s humility, the hero’s pride, All, all alike, find Reason on their side. Note: indolence means inactive or slothful
Excerpt from The Tables Turned William Wordsworth (1798), poem Stanza 1: Up! Up! my Friend, and quit your books; Or surely you’ll grow double: Up! Up! my Friend, and clear you looks; Why all this toil and trouble? Stanza 3: Books! ‘tis a dull and endless strife: Come, hear the woodland linnet, How sweet his music! on my life, There’s more of wisdom in it. Stanza 4: And hark! how blithe the throstle sings! He, too, is no mean preacher: Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher. Note: Linnet and throstle are birds.

Excerpt from Germinal Emile Zola (1885), novel The four colliers had spread themselves out, one above the other, to cover the whole coal-face. Each one occupied about four metres of the seam, and there were hooked planks between them to catch the coal as it fell. The seam was so thin, hardly more than fifty centimetres through at this point, that they were flattened between roof and wall, dragging themselves along by their knees and elbows, unable to turn without grazing their shoulders. In order to get at the coal, they had to lie on one side with twisted neck, arms above their heads, and wield their short handled picks slantways. Collier: a person who sells or delivers coal
Excerpt from Germinal Emile Zola (1885), novel -continued Zacharie was at the bottom, with Levaque and Chaval above him and Maheu at the top. Each cut into the bed of shale with his pick, then made two vertical slots in the coal and finally drove an iron wedge in at the top, thus loosening a block. The coal was soft, and in its fall the block broke up and rolled in pieces, stopped by the planks, had collected beneath them, the men disappeared, immured in the narrow cleft. Immured: enclosed within
