LXXXII
I have grown, for the most part, by means of
leisure.
To my great detriment; for leisure without fortune
breeds debts and the insults which result from debts.
But to my great profit also, so far as sensibility is
concerned and meditation and the faculty of dandyism
and dilletantism.
Other men of letters are, for the most part, common,
ignorant earth-grubbers.
