1 - 2 from 2
He could not endure the time when it became too dark in the wood for work, and when he drove the jaded oxen out into the field and to the barn, and it was yet too early for seeking the hay-mow, which was of clover, and there seeking sleep. A clover mow is a wonderful sleep-compeller. There are the softness and fragrance, but, sometimes, even with that, he would be wakeful.
Stanley Waterloo - A Man and a Woman
The Bearer-in-waiting carries about a small pillow all day long, and from time to time Baby is applied to it. But Baby does not sleep, and even Indian patience is exhausted. So Sunny Baba must sleep, and the Bearer has in the folds of his waist-cloth a little black fragment of the awful sleep-compeller, and Baby is drugged into a deep uneasy sleep of delirious, racking dreams.
