    “This is the gospel of labour, ring it, ye bells of the kirk!

    Heaven is blest with perfect rest, but the blessing of Earth is toil.”

    “Uneasy shifting resumes
    As sterilisers steam
    And the routine begins again
    Of putting questions to flesh
    That no one would think to ask
    But a Ph.D. with a beard....”
    —Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
