In the land of plenty

At the heart of the platonic phantasmagoria there grows the Tree of Paradise, around which frolics a humanity, completely given over to the joys of labour, in a wonderful abundance of useful tasks. Not for them the vegetation of sated idlers! Instead, there's the lively activity of a whole crowd of fit and healthy masons, carpenters and architects, all working for pleasure, that is to say, with no let-up, but each attached to the craft of his choice.
