Gould was lazing and luxuriating in a foreign land "the
business revival added at least $15,000,000 to the value of
the Gold securities." Gadzooks! how sweet idleness must
be when sugared with more than $714,000 per day! I'm
willing to loaf for half the lucre. How refreshing it is to
contemplate our plutocrats lying beside their nectar like a
job lot of Olympian gods—"careless of mankind"—while
"—they smile in secret, looking over wasted lands,
Blight and famine, plague and earthquake, roaring deeps and fiery sands,
Clanging fights and flaming towns, and sinking ships and
praying hands." | | | Similar Items: | Find |
