VIII

Of the Quest of the Golden Fleece1

But the Brute said in his breast, “Till the mills I grind have ceased,

The riches shall be dust of dust, dry ashes be the feast!

”On the strong and cunning few

Cynic favors I will strew;

I will stuff their maw with overplus until their spirit dies;

From the patient and the low

I will take the joys they know;

They shall hunger after vanities and still an-hungered go.

Madness shall be on the people, ghastly jealousies arise;

Brother’s blood shall cry on brother up the dead and empty skies.“
