"The things which can make life enjoyable remain the same. They are, now as

before, reading, music, fine arts, travel, the enjoyment of nature, sports,

fashion, social vanity (knightly orders, honorary offices, gatherings) and
the
intoxication of the senses."

-Johan Huizinga (1872=E2=80=931945) Dutch historian
"The Autumn of the Middle Ages," ch. 2 (1921, trans. 1995)
