Pairs Deep into that darkness peering,
long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever
dared to dream before.
(from 'The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe)
Hola
Unmoved, she notes the chariot's pausing
at her low gate;
unmoved, an emperor is kneeling
upon her mat.
(from 'The Soul Selects her own Society"
by Emily Dickinson)
The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
From a hemlock tree
(from "Dust of Snow" by Robert Frost)

in this passage from chapter 6 of "animal farm", by george orwell, what the author is ridiculing in this passage is the frivolity of some rules.

clover, the mare, believes she remembers that the fourth commandment forbade sleeping in beds because it was something that humans did. snowball, napoleon, and the pigs are brain-workers who look after the welfare of the farm. they are the obvious leaders because they are smart, and so they are entitled to eat the best food and sleep in beds. it is squealer, who says these lines making the difference between sleeping with sheets, what humans do, and sleeping in beds, what pigs do. the unwillingness to question authority makes the oppressed to obey without thinking.
