Effulgence

A grain of gold will gild a great surface, but not so much as a grain of wisdom. - Thoreau

stark evil sparkle

all that glitters is not gold

warned, schooled, lived and told

Author's Note

"The gold-digger is the enemy of the honest laborer, whatever checks and compensations there may be. It is not enough to tell me that you worked hard to get your gold. So does the Devil work hard. The way of transgressors may be hard in many respects." - Thoreau
