    No care, no stop; so senseless of expense
    That he will neither know how to maintain it
    Nor cease his flow of riot, takes no account
    How things go from him, nor resumes no care
    Of what is to continue.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “... he’s helpless
    In ways that I can hardly tell you of.
    Sometimes he gets possessed to keep accounts
    To see where all the money goes so fast.
    You know how men will be ridiculous.
    But it’s just fun the way he gets bedeviled
    If he’s untidy now, what will he be?”
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
