I just finished telling you that I am not ashamed of my poverty; but you should know that I am ashamed, I am ashamed of it

I just finished telling you that I am not ashamed of my poverty; but you should know that I am ashamed, I am ashamed of it most of all, afraid of it above all, more than if I had stolen something, because I am so vain, it is as if I have been flayed, and even the air alone now hurts me.
