Excerpt from The Lovers of the WoodsAn idle vacation is not the best rest for the body or for the mind. It is a poor diversion, this turning from a full life to an empty one, and there is little rest in it. That which is known to some engineers as the fatigue of metals, a supposed loss of strength due to often-re peated small Strains no one of which is a break ing strain, is not cured by a disuse of the metal. An outing needs an occupation, a Change of work. It need not be strenuous, but it should be a subject for diverting thought and reading during the winter, one that makes the vacation longed for, that Strengthens the muscles by use.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
