I'm up and down, and round about, 
Yet all the world can't find me out; 
Though hundreds have employ'd their leisure, 
They never yet could find my measure. 
I'm found almost in every garden, 
Nay, in the compass of a farthing. 
There's neither chariot, coach, nor mill, 
Can move an inch except I will.
Jonathan Swift
