"withdrawn into ourselves"

"...trying to imagine what it would be like to live in one of these stone citadels, occupied to my life's end solely with the study of time past and pasting. But since we can none of us really live entirely into ourselves, and must all have some more or less significant design in view, my wishful thinking about a few last years with no duties of any kind soon gave way to a need to fill the present afternoon somehow..."
