Leisure: When It Becomes an Unexpected Curse

Leisure: When It Becomes an Unexpected Curse
“Ennui” by Walter Richard Sickert (At Tate Modern)

“It’s what Irving Babbitt meant when he wrote that happiness is to be found in work if at all. Or why John Adams would write that he was happiest on days he felt most purposeful.”

Timeless reading in a fleeting world.
