They deem me mad because I will not sell my days for gold;
And I deem them mad because they think my days have a price.
They spread before us their riches of gold and silver, of ivory and ebony, and we spread before them our hearts and our spirits;
And yet they deem themselves the hosts and us the guests.
I would be the least among men with dreams and the desire to fulfill them, rather than the greatest with no dreams and no desires.
