The other conveniences leave me cold.
‘We must adjust our economics to the new abundance .
Of what? Toys: motors, music-boxes,
Paper, fine clothes, leisure, diversion.
I honestly believe (but really an alien here: trust me not)

Has nobility, famine has dignity.
Be happy, adjust your economics to the new abundance;
One is neither saint nor devil, to wish
The intolerable nobler alternative.

Peace is the heir of dead desire,
In a happy hour, or sleep or deathDrowned him deep in dreamy waters,Peace is the ashes of that fire,The heir of that king, the inn of that journey.This last and best and goal: we deadHold it so tight you are envious of usAnd fear under sunk lids contempt.Death-day greetings are the sweetest.Let trumpets roar when…
