The Heartfelt Sense of
Awareness I Am is sold
For “mental farthings.”

[Rich Note: For those not familiar with “King James” Bible terminology, a “farthing” was a British copper coin worth 1/4 of a penny or 1/960 of a pound and, as such, of very little value (of course "30 pieces of silver" makes the same point with considerably greater emotional impact).]
