The beggar is the only person in the universe not obliged to study appearance.

"We are nothing; less than nothing, and dreams. We are only what might have been, and must wait upon the tedious shores of Lethe millions of ages before we have existence, and a name."

"Riddle of destiny, who can show
What thy short visit meant, or know
What thy errand here below?"

Riches are chiefly good because they give us time.

The beggar wears all colors fearing none.
