A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Beyond Measure
John Clare Stokes
Once the man was rich beyond measure
Seven boats for his maritime pleasure
Once the man was rich beyond measure
Seven bikes to pedal at his leisure
Once the man was rich beyond measure
Seven cameras of the fastest aperture’s
Once the man young, time was unmeasured
Seven years if that many now most treasured
