    Yet if it does not seem a moment’s thought,
    Our stitching and unstitching has been naught.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    ‘Tis a sort of duty to be rich, that it may be in one’s power to do good, riches being another word for power.

    You lived too long, we have supped full with heroes,
    they waste their deaths on us.
