“Princes in the workhouse, He who did not sleep on a box owns a bed. See, the man of wealth lies thirsting. He who begged dregs has overflowing bowls. See, those who owned robes are in rags, He who did not weave for himself owns fine linen. See, he who did not build a boat for himself owns ships, Their owner looks at them: they are not his.” — Miriam Lichtheim
Princes in the workhouse,
He who did not sleep on a box owns a bed.
See, the man of wealth lies thirsting.
He who begged dregs has overflowing bowls.
See, those who owned robes are in rags,
He who did not weave for himself owns fine linen.
See, he who did not build a boat for himself owns ships,
Their owner looks at them: they are not his.
