“Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn
Desiring this man’s gift and that man’s scope
I no longer strive to strive towards such things
(Why should the agèd eagle stretch its wings?)
Why should I mourn
The vanished power of the usual reign?”

(T.S. Eliot, “Ash Wednesday”)

Pieter Bruegel the Elder, Greed, 1556-60.
