Cowper .
[
1913 Webster ]
As there is a great truth wrapped up in "
diligence ,"
what a lie ,
on the other hand ,
lurks at the root of our present use of the word "
indolence "!
This is from "
in "
and "
doleo ,"
not to grieve ;
and indolence is thus a state in which we have no grief or pain ;
so that the word ,
as we now employ it ,
seems to affirm that indulgence in sloth and ease is that which would constitute for us the absence of all pain . --
Trench .
