The title essay, starting from the impossibility of historians being able to recreate a bygone epoch, is a superb centerpiece.

Idleness is the deadliest of all the sins. Fatigue kills the creative impulse, monotony is the death of the imagination and productive instinct. Men are happiest when they are most creative.
