He has no resolution, he shrinks from pain or labour in any of its shapes. His very attitude bespeaks this: he never straightens his knee joints, he stoops with his fat ill-shapen shoulders, and in walking he does not tread but shovel and slide.

Source: Letter, 24 June 1824, to his brother, following Carlyle's first encounter with Coleridge (published in Collected Letters, vol. 3).
-- Thomas Carlyle, (Dec 4 1795-1881), Scottish essayist, historian; He was considered one of the era's great sages and man of letters; wrote The French Revolution, 1837.
