"The Terrible People"
Many Long Years Ago (1945)
Context: People who have what they want are very fond of telling people who haven't what they want that they really don't want it,
And I wish I could afford to gather all such people into a gloomy castle on the Danube and hire half a dozen capable Draculas to haunt it.
I dont' mind their having a lot of money, and I don't care how they employ it,
But I do think that they damn well ought to admit they enjoy it.
“As money grows, care follows it and the hunger for more.”
Crescentem sequitur cura pecuniam,
Maiorumque fames.
Odes (c. 23 BC and 13 BC)
“As money grows, care follows it and the hunger for more.”
Crescentem sequitur cura pecuniam,
Maiorumque fames.
Horace, Odes, Book III, ode xvi, lines 17–18
