VII/2 Round their eternal circle misers and spendthrifts roll their huge stones crying 'Why Spend' and 'Why Save'. To repeat the slogan motif their cries have become the stones themselves. In order to reflect the dim greyness that Virgil states is the quality given these sinners by their squalid lives the original version is printed in a mixture of blind intaglio and barely perceptible ink, impossible to reproduce. The image is entirely reworked for this edition, with the addition of Italian banknote fragments. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
