“Like dog that in the garden keepeth ward,
Eating no melons, but allowing none
To eat thereof, he is of all abhorred.”
Siccome al Cane in guardia posto all'orto,
Che non mangia i poponi, e non congente,
Che altri ne mangi, ogni uomo gli dà torto.
Act II, scene i
Timone (c. 1487)

Context: There are people who eat earth and eat all the people on it like in the Bible with the locusts. Then there are people who stand around and watch them eat it. (Softly) Sometimes I think it ain't right to stand and watch them do it.
