Egopoly deadlock

Omnia, Castor, emis. Sic fiet ut omnia uendas.

You buy everything in sight, Castor,
but you’ll end up selling it all.

Tutto tu compri, o Castore.
Così sia, perché tutto venderai.

Martial, Epigrams, Book 7, XCVIII
English translation by Brendan Kennelly
Italian translation by Holden Caulfield
