From Gulliver's Travels I lay down on the grass, which was very short and soft, where I slept sounder than ever I remembered to have done in my life, and, as I
reckoned, about nine hours; for when I awaked, it was just day-light. I attempted to rise, but was not able to stir: for as I happened to lie on my
back I found my arms and legs were strongly fastened on each side to the ground; and my hair, which was long and thick, tied down in the
same manner. I likewise felt several slender ligatures across my body, from my arm-pits to my thighs. I could only look upwards, the sun began
to grow hot and the light offended my eyes. I heard a confused noise about me; but in the posture Ilay, could see nothing except the sky. In a
little time I felt something alive moving on my left leg, which advancing gently forward over my breast, came almost up to my chin:
when bending my eyes downward as much as I could. I perceived it to be a human creature not six inches high, with a bow and arrow in his
hands, and a quiver at his back
(from Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift)
