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.
