    Are driven by wealth as beggars by the itch,”
    Beggar to beggar cried, being frenzy-struck,

    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    These roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with God to-day. There is no time to them. There is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
