Grapes on his robe, a coin resting on his knee, and behind him a castle he plainly had built. Nothing about him is anxious about money, and that is the actual achievement. What would you do differently if you trusted that the base was solid?

Reversed Meaning
Core meaning: Stubborn materialism or security built on control
