Rhythms of the Week

An exploration of time and other rhythms of life, especially that of the week, which the author interprets as reflecting different moods. The book contains a few striking maxims, for instance this one from Goethe: 'the person who acts is always without conscience. A conscience is possessed only by those who observe.' Apart from the rhythm of the day, there is also the rhythm of the heart and the cycle of the seasons -- this book can help us get back in touch with these rhythms.
