Oh what is earth, that we should build
Brief houses here, and seek concealed
Poor treasure, and add field to field
Brief houses here, and seek concealed
Poor treasure, and add field to field
And heap to heap and store to store,
Still grasping, ever grasping more,
While death stands knocking at our door?—
Still grasping, ever grasping more,
While death stands knocking at our door?—
Cui bono?
