      In spite of all the soulful utterances of people comfortably off, economic independence remains the first condition of happiness.

      This is not to say that people aren’t great fools for preferring law to literature. It is rather to imply that a poet who can do both is a fool if he does not.

      I am not a fool.

      Farewell!
