Avarice
Twilight dreams of wealth
and power,
gold and garlands andvelvet pillows.
-
I do not wish to pass up a thing of beauty
if it is
something that I might cherish in my pocket for awhile.
- My treasure chest is full of things that cannot truly
please me,
but the mere act of collecting brings me
- my temporary pleasure.
- Food, clothing and shelter are but meager luxuries,
