“...I’m not money hungry.... People who are rich want to be richer, but what’s the difference? You can’t take it with you. The toys get different, that’s all. The rich guys buy a football team, the poor guys buy a football. It’s all relative.”

Or wilt thou go ask the Mole?
Can wisdom be put in a silver rod,
Or love in a golden bowl?”

“In this dream that dogs me I am part
Of a silent crowd walking under a wall,
Leaving a football match, perhaps, or a pit,
All moving the same way.”

That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?”
