i guess piepers point about leasure is that it can be taxing. repose is not mental or physically taxing. A family that plays music together in their leisure, well its not repose. They might repose after they play for a cup of tea. I guess I associate repose with the ceasing of intense effort and Liesure often includes this.
What I mean by repose is not exclusively repose of the body, but repose of the will in the desired object. These two can coincide (think of when you want to take a nap), but do not always. If someone loves to play music with their family, their will can rest in that activity even if their body is active and becomes fatigued. Their will reposes in the thing that it loves and their body labors to engage in that activity.
Leisure and repose are different I think. Have u looked at Josef pieper on this?
Interesting observation, what would you say the distinction is?
And to answer your question, yes! I read Only the Lover Sings and Leisure the Basis of culture over the summer.

I see what you're saying.
