Stillness
 
A horrid stillness first invades the ear,
And in that silence we the tempest fear.
        Dryden.—Astrea Redux, Line 7.		  1
Stillness, with Silence at her back, entered the solitary parlour, and drew their gauzy mantle over my Uncle Toby’s head; and Listlessness, with her lax fibre and undirected eye, sat quietly down beside him in his arm-chair.
        Sterne.—Tristram Shandy, Vol. VI. Chap. XXXIV.		  2
