Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of separating work and rest, suggesting that by fully immersing oneself in each, both can be more rejuvenating and fulfilling. The phrase "put off thy cares with thy clothes" suggests leaving behind worries and concerns when changing into more relaxed attire for rest. By doing so, rest becomes more restorative, allowing it to replenish one's energy and prepare them for the subsequent labor. This labor, in turn, is enlightened and made more enjoyable owing to the rejuvenation experienced during rest, resulting in a harmonious and balanced cycle.
