Four snakes gliding up and down a hollow for no purpose that I could see — not to eat, not for love, but only gliding.

I see the lost Love in beauty
Go gliding over the main:
I feel the ancient sweetness,
The worm and the wormwood again.Francis Turner Palgrave
What was the rock my gliding childhood struck, / And what bright unreal path has led me here?'
Philip Larkin
After the first powerful plain manifesto
The black statement of pistons, without more fuss
But gliding like a queen, she leaves the station.Stephen Spender
One might call habit a moral friction: something that prevents the mind from gliding over things but connects it with them and makes it hard for it to free itself from them.
Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
God only knows
God makes his plan
The information's unavailable
To the mortal man
We work our jobs
Collect our pay
Believe we're gliding down the highway
When in fact we're slip slidin' away.Paul Simon
