Some of the most useful people I know are people who not only think least about being useful, but are ready to condemn themselves for their Desultoriness.
"The Silent Isle"
Arthur Christopher Benson
So, if they are fortunate, they may rid themselves of the vagueness and uncertainty of life, until all the multitude of details which go to make up life lose their Desultoriness and their lack of meaning, and they may find themselves no longer the subjects of physical or nervous exhaustion.
"The Untroubled Mind"
Herbert J. Hall

"A Short History of French Literature"
George Saintsbury
