Le Roi Midas veut que se change en or tout ce qu'il touche : tel est son profond désir, tel est son vœu le plus cher, tel est son feu sacré en quelque sorte.

Car tout s'achète, en effet ; et qui veut devenir ou devient riche est tenté de tout posséder et séduit par le plaisir et le pouvoir illimité. Seule compte la satisfaction de son désir démesuré de possession.
