So what profit have the owners
Except to see them with their eyes?

When goods increase, those who eat them increase; and what gain has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
When goods increase, those who eat them are increased; and what advantage is there to its owner, except to feast on them with his eyes?
When riches increase,
so do those who are eager to accumulate them,
and those who have accumulated them must remain content
simply to feast their eyes on them.
