The weeping Pleiads wester,
And the moon is under seas;

When ye look at me I am an idle, idle man; when I look at myself I am a busy, busy man.

Since at the bourn of unity ineffable I am subduing, subduing the demon-foe of self, I have no time for subduing angry foe-men. Since in the palace of mind which transcends duality I am waiting, waiting for spiritual experience as my bride, I have no time for setting up house. Since in the circle of the Buddhas of my body I am fostering, fostering the child of wisdom, I have no time for fostering snivelling children. Since in the frame of the body, the seat of all delight, I am saving, saving precious instruction and reflection, I have no time for saving wordly wealth. — Milarepa

To groan and sweat under a weary life,

Thus, conscience does make cowards of us all; — William Shakespeare

Execute all things; for no kind of traffic
Would I admit; no name of magistrate;

And use of service, none; contract, succession,

No use of metal, corn, or wine, or oil;
No occupation; all men idle, all;
And women too, but innocent and pure;
And no sovereignty; -

ANTONIO: The latter end of his commonwealth forgets the beginning. — William Shakespeare
