“You discover the boredom which is inseparable from poverty; the times when you have nothing to do and, being underfed, can interest yourself in nothing. For half a day at a time you lie on your bed, feeling like a jeune squelette in Beaudelaire’s poem. Only food could rouse you. You discover that a man who has gone a week on bread and margarine is not a man any longer, only a belly with a few accessory organs.”
George Orwell, “Down and Out in Paris and London”, 1933.
