The Description of a New World, Called the Blazing-World
·
Duchess of Margaret Cavendish Newcastle
139
In
time
of
the
Voyage,
both
the
Empress's
and
the
Duchess's
Soul,
were
very
gay
and
merry;
and
sometimes
they
would
converse
very
seriously
with
each
other.
Amongst
the
rest
of
their
discourses,
the
Duchess
said,
she
wondred
much
at
one
thing,
which
was,
That
since
her
Majesty
had
found
out
a
passage
out
of
the
Blazing-World,
into
the
World
she
came
from,
she
did
not
enrich
that
part
of
the
World
where
she
was
born,
at
least
her
own
Family,
though
she
had
enough
to
enrich
the
whole
World.
The
Empress's
Soul
answered,
That
she
loved
her
Native
Countrey,
and
her
own
Family,
as
well
as
any
Creature
could
do;
and
that
this
was
the
reason
why
she
would
not
enrich
them:
for,
said
she,
not
only
particular
Families
or
Nations,
but
all
the
World,
their
Natures
are
such,
that
much
Gold,
and
great
store
of
Riches,
makes
them
mad;
insomuch
as
they
endeavour
to
destroy
each
other
for
Gold
or
Riches
sake.
The
reason
thereof
is,
said
the
Duchess,
that
they
have
too
little
Gold
and
Riches,
which
makes
them
so
eager
to
have
it.
No,
replied
the
Empress's
Soul,
their
particular
Covetousness,
is
beyond
all
the
wealth
of
the
richest
World,
and
the
more
Riches
they
have,
the
more
Covetous
they
are;
for
their
Covetousness
is
Infinite.
