In these deep solitudes and awful cells,

Where heav'nly-pensive contemplation dwells,

And ever-musing melancholy reigns;

What means this tumult in a vestal's veins?

Why rove my thoughts beyond this last retreat?

Yet, yet I love!—From Abelard it came,

And Eloisa yet must kiss the name.

If you're driving in the left lane and 5 or more cars pass you on your right, it might be time to move to the middle lane.

OTOH, if you are moving at a steady speed (at or above the speed limit) in the second-from-right lane, occasionally passing slower-moving traffic in the right lane, with one or more open lanes to your left...nobody has any business swerving to your right to pass you on the right.
