No Innocent Victim - Paid in Full

And if I, who devoted myself to art, was destined for other activity, which, incidentally, I would not exchange for any other in the world, then why should I live in conditions that have nothing to do with such a modest and serene existence?

I would spend the whole morning working on scores, and give the rest of the time to my family, planting trees, inspecting my fields, and in the fall, together with my sons, I would harvest apples and pears; occasionally I would go to the city to go to the theater or for any business, sometimes I would host one or more friends - that would be bliss! But, by the way, how do you know what else has been written for me.
