Men grow rich, or take power,
ten thousand men want ten thousand things,
most see their hopes
go to ruin, a few see them all
come true --- but the man whose life
right now, this day
brings joy to his heart –
is happy beyond harm.
--- Euripides, The Bakkhai (quoted by Ben Giamo in Kerouac, The Word and the Way – Prose Artist as a Spiritual Quester)
