  10. When, in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes I all alone beweep my outcast state, And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries And look upon myself and curse my fate, Wishing me like to one more rich in hope, Featured like him, like him with friends possessed Desiring this man’s art and that man’s hope With what I most enjoy contented least . . . William Shakespeare Sonnet 29

John Maynard Keynes
