Page 219 - ... written on the thesis that the pursuit of leisure in our civilization is determined by our traditions of work ; we carry the morals and ideals of an essentially industrial, essentially business civilization over into our play. Leisure — a quiet and emancipated absorption in things and doings for their own sake — has always seemed to us effeminate and exotic.
