Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.
We are cut, we are fallen. We are become part of that unfeeling universe that sleeps when we are at our quickest and burns red when we lie asleep.
What a lark! What a plunge!
How remorseless life is!
If the best of one's feelings means nothing to the person most concerned in those feelings, what reality is left us?
Fear no more, says the heart.
