Opulent

opulent: [op-yuh-luhnt] adjective wealthy, rich or affluent; characterized by or exhibiting opulence.


The sun and sea,
Informed by thee,
Before me run,
And draw me on,
Yet fly me still,
As Fate refuses
To me the heart Fate for me chooses.
Is it that my opulent soul
Was mingled from the generous whole;
Sea-valleys and the deep of skies
Furnished several supplies;
And the sands whereof I’m made
Draw me to them, self-betrayed?
---Ralph Waldo Emerson
