We stuck, nor breath nor motion;
As idle as a painted ship
Upon a painted ocean.“

„Water, water, everywhere,
And all the boards did shrink;
Water, water, everywhere,
Nor any drop to drink.“

„Readers may be divided into four classes: I. Sponges, who absorb all they read, and return it nearly in the same state, only a little dirtied. II. Sand-glasses, who retain nothing, and are content to get through a book for the sake of getting through the time. III. Strain-bags, who retain merely the dregs of what they read. IV. Mogul diamonds, equally rare and valuable, who profit by what they read, and enable others to profit by it also.“
— Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Notes And Lectures Upon Shakespeare And Some Of The Old Poets And Dramatists
