“Leisure without study is death; it is a tomb for the living.” In one of his letters to his friend Lucilius, Seneca warns that free time alone brings no peace: rest without reading and thinking is no life at all, but a grave for a living man. Here a young tree grows out of an open book and takes root in its pages.
