When he learns the price is pegged to his valuation--


















To value oneself properly -- how much depends on seeing oneself with an undistorted view.

--Complains bitterly he is being ruined which, of course, he is.
So kings find it odd they should have a million subjects 
Yet share in the thoughts of none, and seducers 
Are sincerely puzzled at being unable to love 
What they are able to possess--

(Auden, 1944)
