Dipsychus, Pt. II, sc. ii.
“
I sit at my table en grand seigneur,
And when I have done, throw a crust to the poor;
Not only the pleasure, one’s self, of good living,
But also the pleasure of now and then giving.
So pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
So pleasant it is to have money.
— Arthur Hugh Clough

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I sit at my table en grand seigneur,
And when I have done, throw a crust to the poor;
Not only the pleasure, one’s self, of good living,
But also the pleasure of now and then giving.
So pleasant it is to have money, heigh ho!
So pleasant it is to have money." in the context of "Dipsychus, Pt. II, sc. ii." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
