“We, the beggar class, have little to lose and our expectations are, at best, modest, and when we suffer, it seems we suffer to the depths, for there is nothing in our lives nor in our souls to buoy our hope. Nothing in the way of the blackness. It sinks to the bottom as the lead weight that is despair. We look forward such a short distance that our spirit is myopic, not to be corrected by any lens within our world.” SpiritSufferingHopeLossDespairExpectationsHopelessBeggarLoseSufferBeggarsBeggar Class Book:Monarchs and Mendicants Source: Monarchs and Mendicants
