The Idle Thoughts Of An Idle Fellow
ByPublisher Description
The Idle Thoughts of an Idle Fellow is made up of 14 individual essays: In the first chapter, "On being idle", the narrator discusses how being idle has been his most distinguishing quality in his works. He claims that a man needs continually be active in order to experience the pleasures of idleness to the fullest. In his dream, the narrator imagines a time when it will be appropriate to stay in bed until noon and read two books. In the second chapter, "On Being In Love", the writer expresses his thoughts on how men seem to fall in love only once in their lifetime. He compares love with a fire that warms those gathered around it and warns people not to expect too much from love. The writer also advises women to be fair both in appearance and soul.
