"No argument, no amusement or gave ever gave me such pleasure as lecturing. Only while lecturing could I give myself entirely to passion and understand that inspiration is not an invention of poets but exists in reality. And I imagine that Hercules, after the most piquant of his great deeds, did not feel such sweet exhaustion as I experienced each time after a lecture" (Anton Chekhov, A Boring Story (64-65)).
When class goes well, it is a singular experience of pleasure. Today was a good day in class.
