问题      (63)The fortunate people in the world, the only really fortunate people in the world, in my mind, are those whose work is also their pleasure. The class is not a large one, not nearly so large as it is often represented to be; and authors are perhaps one of the most important elements in its composition. They enjoy in this respect at least a real harmony of life. (64) To my mind, to be able to make your work your pleasure is the one class distinction in the world worth striving for; and I do not wonder that others are inclined to envy those happy human beings who find their livelihood in the gay effusions of their fancy, to whom every hour of labour is an hour of enjoyment to whom repose—however necessary is a tiresome interlude, and even a holiday is almost deprivation. (65) Whether a man writes well or ill,has much to say or little, if he cares about writing at all, he will appreciate the pleasures of composition. To sit at one’s table on a sunny morning, with four clear hours of uninterruptible security,plenty of nice white paper, and a Squeezer pen that is true happiness. (66)The complete absorption of the mind up-on an agreeable occupation, what more is there than to desire? What does it matter what happens outside? The House of Commons may do what it like, and so may the House of Lords. The heathen may rage furiously in every part of the globe. The bottom may be knocked clean out of the American market. Consols may fall and suffragettes may rise. (67) Never mind, for four hours, at any rate, we will withdraw ourselves from a common, ill governed, and disorderly world, and with the key of fancy unlock that cupboard where all the good things of the infinite are put away.
