Washington Irving, b.1783. “Rip van Winkle, however, was one of those happy mortals, of foolish, well-oiled dispositions, who take the world easy,, eat white bread or brown, whichever can be got with least thought and trouble, and would rather starve on a penny than work for a pound. If left to himself, he would have whistled his life away in perfect contentment . . .”
