Cane and Clay by Bethente Blasco Albañez... "He suddenly understood why his will rebelled against brutal and painful work. It was the body, it was sin that made crushed man live like beasts to satisfy his earthly lusts. The soul objected to its enslavement, saying to man: 'Do not work,' It spreads through the muscles the sweet ecstasy of laziness, like happiness awaiting goodness from heaven."
