"The world is a great movie to watch, but you don't want to sleep walk through life. The important thing to do is to look for the job you would take if you didn't need the job, and life is wonderful then." - Warren Buffett @ 123:20

Who is spared in the end from leaving? 

Despite his gold and all his jade, 

is everyone not bound to go there? 

Am I a shield set with turquoise? 

A stone secured in a mosaic?

Will I ever walk this earth again?

Will they shroud me in fine mantles? 

Here on earth, I think of those who ruled before me, 

as the place of sounding drums draws near.


I am a man of Byzantian, who came to Venice, by way of Greece.
