Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz - She laments her Fortune

In my pursuit, World, why such diligence?What my offence, when I am thus inclined,insuring elegance affect my mind,not that my mind affect an elegance?I have no love of riches or finance,and thus do I most happily, I find,expend finances to enrich my mindand not mind expend upon finance.I worship beauty not, but vilifythat spoil of time that mocks eternity,nor less, deceitful treasures glorify,but hold foremost, with greatest constancy,consuming all the vanity in life,and not consuming life in vanity.
