Happiness is a bed of leaves


 Within a thicket I repos'd, when round
I ruffl'd up fal'n leaves in heap, and found,
Let fall from heaven, a sleep interminate.

-- George Chapman (1539-1634)

Happiness is the sweet oblivion of country life


Oh, could I see my country-seat!
There leaning near a gentle brook,
Sleep, or peruse some ancient book;
And there in sweet oblivion drown
Those cares that haunt the court and town.
 
-- Jonathan Swift
