Rest

At rest, as the ark in the temple.
—Francis Bacon

Rested on him as lightly as freckles on his nose.
—Alice Caldwell Hegan

Rest,
Like beauty nestling in a young man’s breast.
—Charles Lamb

Rested in strange wise,
As when some creature utterly outworn
Sinks into bed and lies.
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti
