Read the words of the Messenger in Antigone, Part 5. For when a man has lost
what gives him pleasure, I don't include him
among the living-he's a breathing corpse.
Pile up a massive fortune in your home,
if that's what you want-live like a king.
If there's no pleasure in it, I'd not give
to any man a vapour's shadow for it,
not compared to human joy.
