The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.
Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.
Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

We can immediately strike out "The phrase stresses that grass needs time to do its work." since it is clear that there is a deeper meaning to the poem. We can strike out "The phrase implies that time helps people heal their emotional wounds.
" under the explaination that there is no emotional aspect to the poem. It is from the grass's POV. There have been no emotional connections said outright to allow us to draw this conclusion. Finally, we can strike "The phrase describes the intervals between the wars.
" Although places such as Austerlitz, Waterloo, Gettysburg, Ypres, and Verdun are mentioned, it doesn't seem as though this is what the poem is mainly about. It is about how the grass is working for years and years. It can be assumed that as many people forget about grass, people can quickly forget the past.
