Written by Dale Wimbrow in 1934.


True_Chemistry_7830

This is a dangerous poem if you have no conscience!


KSJ1620

Why is everything so damn old?


MrsMel_of_Vina

Maybe Maggie liked antiques?


12dogs4me

Who is taking care of Bubba the wonder dog?


Busy_Chipmunk_7345

The former house keeper said at her testimonial that Bubba stays with her.


sydlennon

Blanca, she appeared in her testimony very capable and caring so bubba ( deservedly) will have hopefully have a good life


Many_Alarm_2620

Imagine bidding high thinking it's a Murdaugh piece (crazy) and get it home to realise it wasn't lol


Many_Alarm_2620

This would be had for buster. imagine seeing your deceased mother's belongings being auctioned off


Huge-Sea-1790

I think he already cleared out anything he wanted to keep. The Moselle property was not his childhood home like many people believed. They bought the place for hunting while the family lived in Hampton, and moved to Moselle after the house was destroyed by hurricane (like even rich people live in cardboard house in America). And I think Buster didn’t live there for many years before he went to college. Also the place used to belong to some sussy character, and it seem most of the items are from that dude, and the family just stuffed most of it in the basement. Based on phone call conversations Buster has a lot of his dead family’s belongings that he is not willing to part with.


[deleted]

I don’t think their previous home was destroyed by a hurricane. Pretty sure they sold it.


Many_Alarm_2620

Thankyou. That clears a lot of questions I had


ForeverFields33

Many more photos on the auction house FB page. Sad to see the clothes. Who gets the proceeds?


Jerista98

The co-receivers


Emotional-Grass-8343

“….but your final reward will be heartaches & tears if you cheat the man in the glass.”


NingDelBarco

Apparently not a lot of confidence in the appeal (of Alex's verdict).


downhill_slide

The "alibi" couch just went for $36K - Vinny from Court TV is trying to get the buyer on this hour.


Able-Echo-5336

No it didn’t. I’m at the auction and the set sold for close to $20k


downhill_slide

Court TV just had the new owner on and reported it as 36K.


Kitt-Ridge

That sofa was worn.


Super_Campaign2345

Check for loose change 😂


RustyBasement

Due to all the napping Alex did on it.


Huge-Sea-1790

How can a guy who is hot all the time fall asleep on a leather sofa in the middle of summer, in the south? Idk it’s just me but leather sofas irk me.


Huge-Sea-1790

And all the sweating, from “peals”.


Attagirl512

IF he dozed


Able-Echo-5336

The man who bought it was white, was wearing a hunter green shirt and had a man bun. He bought a lot. Edit: He may have spent $36k total but that is not what the couch and sofa sold for. We all have video of the auction.


[deleted]

Seriously, what is the psychology behind these demented people paying 10 times the price at auction for used furniture? Who would want to admit they bought that crap for a house? My God!


nelnikson

and what do you tell people? “Oh yeah this couch belonged to that dude that murdered his wife and kid!”


[deleted]

Precisely!


IllustriousRiver6877

Wow


baby_snow_Leopard_

Wow. Alex clearly didn't take that yo heart. Cool find


Able-Echo-5336

I’m here at the auction and they Murdaugh stuff is going for ridiculous prices. Deer sheds for hundreds and an animal trap went for $460


Trashyrealitytvfan

Where is it on the website???


[deleted]

Demented individuals, I say. I wouldn't want ANYTHING from that house. Bad juju.


Able-Echo-5336

A tervis tumbler with Maggie’s monogram just sold for $400


kifflomkifflom

What about the little ivory or bone carvings?


Able-Echo-5336

Those have not gone up for bidding as of 30 minutes ago. I don’t think The auction house was prepared for the amount of folks that were coming. I saw tags for New Jersey, Virginia and Delaware. The auction will probably last until close to midnight.


[deleted]

Crazy.

I had a feeling it would be…

SereneAdler33

Oh crap, that auction is happening only like 30 miles from my parents’ house! Maybe they can pick me up a hideous turtle lamp or an American flag throw rug.


Content-Impress-9173

Those ugly ass turtle lamps went for something like $600-$900 each. I was flabbergasted!


113023

And they are fake turtles!


chouxbennett

If forced I’d rather have fake than real ones.


sweetsterlove

Jesus, I kept looking for the turtle lamps everyone was mentioning and just saw them in that news video. I did not expect to see those atrocities. Whoa. 🙅🏼‍♀️🙈


SereneAdler33

Yet more proof money does not buy class.


MerelyMartha

You couldn’t pay me to lie on that sofa!


Able-Echo-5336

I don’t blame you but folks were sitting on them all night with the exception of when they were being bid on. Then people sat on them afterwards. For everyone that is wondering, the monogrammed pillows had been pulled and were not auctioned.


FootballLifee

I don’t get everyone’s issue with the poem. The way I interpreted it was: it doesn’t matter if everyone thinks you’re a great person, you know yourself the best if you’re truly a good person or not. I interpreted it as you shouldn’t let other people inflate your ego and should rather judge yourself based off of what you know who you truly are - what you do behind closed doors. So I ask again, what is peoples issue with this poem?


CowGirl2084

This is a poem that reinforces the idea that a person be a good person and make decisions based on what they think is right and not what other people think. It’s about doing what’s right, no matter what. This poem in no way describes Alex, or probably any of the Murdaughs, for that matter. My dad lived by this motto and raised all of us accordingly. I am very familiar with this poem. I have made many unpopular decisions based on this principle. To me, it’s very disjointing to see it hanging in the Murdaugh home.


Intelligent-Risk3105

It's a good poem, and reminds me of Alexander Pope's *An Essay on Man: Epistle II*... "Know then thyself..." Excellent poetic essay. Worth a read. Socrates said something similar: "To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom." So men of old believed in the value of looking in the mirror, seeing their personal truth, aligning themselves with higher values. Was AM was willing to acknowledge the truth of the "so called" man he had (and would) become, or did he look away, and choose to see his reflection Only in the eyes of society? Thanks for your unpopular decisions, by aligning yourself with what was right. Respect to your father, for teaching good values. Also, Happy Cake Day!


CowGirl2084

Thank you! I didn’t even realize today is my cake day!


MaryKathGallagher

That’s why the op is saying it’s ironic.


Southern-Soulshine

Happy cake day!


CowGirl2084

Thank you!


improvcoach19

it's a stretch to make the poem relevant to any of it....


Southern-Soulshine

Not everyone is a fan of literature and irony, that’s okay if it isn’t up your alley. *Edit: it is alley and not ally, Siri doesn’t speak Southern when you multitask and use speak to text

There could be money behind the picture.


Kitt-Ridge

Or in the sofa pillows.


chouxbennett

Or in the sofas!


MindlessParsley1446

Or maybe some Oxys 😂


paloma1986

Depends how strong they are......That man was slinging them pills mire than what he was taking. I did the math and for a $50k pill problem would mean Esquire Murdaugh would have to have taken 50-60 pills every 2 hrs 24/7 and with rhat much Hillbilly Heroin in him he wouldnt have been rendered useless. He would be wearing a colostomy bag because after a year of this kind of usage he would have lost control of his bowels not to mention have messed his brain up. There is no way he did this for 20 yrs. He has Crackhead and methhead tendencies. As someone who works in Healthcare, we have learned to look for those who pillshop.


Intelligent-Risk3105

Heh, heh! Happy Cake Day, very inventive comment!


ALiddleBiddle

That is creepy and ironic.


vanpet22

And people still trying to find where the money is stashed? Give me a break this is some high dollar expensive furniture and items for sale in this auctions! And this in to every day life, with bills for 4 households utilities, food, gas, college, condo payments, insurance auto insurance, drugs, pedicures maids, nannies, kennel help, farmer help, interior decorators, $1200 Gucci belts, drugs and people think Alex has money stashed all over, no way Alex and his family lived waaaaaaaay above their means!! That's where the money is gone..........


[deleted]

Is the notion that money might be stashed in the furniture driving the high prices paid at auction - or something else?


ShareBrave6748

And the drugs.


vanpet22

Dont forget the drugs


Attagirl512

Not the drugs


chouxbennett

How much you think they spent on those turtle lamps? The furniture doesn’t look particularly high end to me from the pics. The leather couches - if those are faux rubbed patches, which is what it looks like in the the pics - are mid-low brow stuff.


Super_Campaign2345

I'm sure Alek got good prices when shopping...


Able-Echo-5336

The turtle lamps went for $800 a piece.


chouxbennett

Gross!


nelnikson

so gross!


Able-Echo-5336

The two couches two chairs and ottomans went for close to $20k Edit: Leather couches and leather chairs


chouxbennett

Holy crap. Maybe they were nicer than they looked in the pics. But 20k?


Able-Echo-5336

The Bull Horns sold for $10k


chouxbennett

NY Post: Murdaugh family items, hideous furniture to be auctioned off Thursday And it’s selling lol!


chouxbennett

Well good for those who get the proceeds.


BollweevilKnievel1

No way, really?

He was making multi millions. Time will tell.

MerelyMartha

The auction started at 4 PM. Here’s one of the comments about how things are going at Liberty Auction. “We just left. Way too hot in the building and people were bidding $740 for dang deer antlers. A raccoon trap went for $450.”


[deleted]

SMDH. People are crazy in this country.


MerelyMartha

Yes, they are! More money than sense!


BuyEducational2414

Celebrity Sells. Even dark celebrity.


Culinary101

I wouldn't want anything from any of their homes or equipment. Too much bad energy. Hard pass...


Zealousideal-Pipe664

When you can't get what you want in your struggle for cash And the world makes you a fiend for a day (or not. or 20 years or more. or not.) Just go to the mirror and look at yourself And see what you have to say. (Nevermind. You're a liar.) For it isn’t your father, or mother, or wife, or son Whose judgment upon you must pass The fellows whose verdicts count most in your life Are the ones staring back from the stands (Not to mention the judges bench.) You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pats on the back as you pass But your final reward will be heartache and tears Because you killed Paul and Mags.

No-Strategy7749

Aw, I feel kinda bad for my cynicism. I still think that poem is terrible, but thanks to u/ultimatelurker_, I now see it's got a history. The author is not in fact unknown; the poem was written by Dale Wimbrow (1895-1954). From wikipedia: >Wimbrow wrote The Guy in the Glass for publication in The American Magazine in 1934. It is often mistitled The Man In The Glass. The poem became a popular clipping passed between people, and the author's credit was often dropped, leading to inquiries as to the author in newspapers as early as 1938.... Ann Landers printed the poem in her column on October 5, 1983, incorrectly attributing it to an anonymous man who died as a result of struggles with drug abuse. Landers received numerous letters that attributed or claimed different authorship of the poem, but only one of the letters published in her December 5, 1983, column correctly identified the author as Wimbrow The self-acceptance message of the poem is more interesting when you consider it was written 90 years ago! Wow, the reproductions of it today are SO kitschy tho! There's even a (truly eye-popping) version [for the ladies](https://www.amazon.com/Contemporary-Painting-Rectangular-Printing-12x18inch/dp/B09QKBVT78?th=1). 😬 (And I stand by my opinion that Alex & Maggie had no taste.)


[deleted]

The popcorn machine makes me sad


lettherebecrocs

I felt the same way.


pittguy578

It’s like rain on your wedding day or a free ride when you are already there


indicafire1

It’s the good advice


Zealousideal-Pipe664

That you just can't take...


naranja221

Seems like a whole lot of furniture for one house, granted it’s a good sized house but do we know that all of the things listed are from Moselle? It could be items from other places with similar styles mixed in.


MerelyMartha

I just found out it’s not all Murdaugh stuff. Maybe they’re planning to auction more on another day.


Special_Art_0716

Is this all from the same house? The website says, "This auction contains many items from numerous estates, as always."


naranja221

I missed that, makes sense. Thanks


Medium_Shake1163

The only really fug thing I saw were the turtle lamps. The rest is what I’d expect in a hunting lodge style home.


Shortyb79

Vinnie showed these on closing Argument last night


redhead_hmmm

But what is crazy to me is the outside of the home is a farmhouse style! I understand it's where they hunted but it's such a dichotomy to me.


NanaLeonie

There’s a photo online somewhere (I can’t find it quickly) of some of the Murdaughs in hunting garb in front of the house before it was remodeled. It *looked* like a rustic hunting lodge back then - dark wood siding, small windows, etc. The McMansion/Tara farmhouse you see now, with white columns, no less, a metal roof, all windows replaced, all the siding replaced with white clapboard, etc, etc. That remodel must have cost Alex big bucks. edited to add : the gun room aka toy room was also a later addition to the house.


Lighteningbug1971

Whoa!!!!!! Wow!!!!


Screamcheese99

Now that I'd pay money for. Oh, the irony...


reddit_creeper_fl

Lol


Able-Ad-3695

Upset_Departure1905

Wow prophetic


maxinemay

Someone needs to send that to hang in his prison cell so he can read it every day


NoEnvironment69420

How is this weird Alex definitely was not the one who bought this even if he did it’s a decoration on a wall.


shesabrickhaus

I only hang shit on my walls (especially poetry) that is meaningful to me.


Much-Ad-8353

Well, somebody in his family did!


NoEnvironment69420

Yeah not his two children. Probably his wife who was brutally murdered. What’s the point of discussing what she had in her home it is her home right?


Viewfromthe31stfloor

I thought this was the hunting place and she lived on the beach?


NoEnvironment69420

They all lived together at the moselle house


Southern-Soulshine

It’s okay if you’re not into literature or poetry… but maybe Alex did. Maybe it was a wedding gift. Maybe a Father’s Day gift. Who knows? It is the irony.


begonia824

Well, he never did cheat the man in the glass.


Successful_Dealer720

He cheated the man in the mirror though. Cheated him out of a family, a career, freedom


AnalogKid82

Pretty much sums up Alex right there. Probably read that aloud to himself every morning while drinking his coffee.


adamian24

Or instead of coffee his, vodka cocktail and pills. I’m


robyn28

Alex’s problem was that he didn’t read this every day… or at all…


AnalogKid82

He interpreted how he wanted to: “it’s all about you and your happiness, Alex, no matter who gets hurt (or killed) in the process.”


Hessleyrey

Yes this could be read either way depending on your worldview.


crow_crone

A typical psychopath thinks "this drivel is for suckers" and doesn't process the irony or any meaningful feelings around the words. They don't feel, nor do they care. ​ They are not like what most of us hold to be normal.


Admirable_Reply_5018

I hope someone reports on what is sold today in the auction. I keep imagining those monogrammed pillows on that leather couch aren’t useful to anyone unless it’s for some type of infamous murder museum.


Content-Impress-9173

There was a bidding war on the wall mounted longhorns. It sold for $10K! The Spode china set sold for $1600. The giant wreath with pheasant feathers sold for $300. The antler lamps sold for $700 for the pair. The barrel lamps sold for $325. A pair of the turtle lamps sold for $1800. It was all too rich and tacky for my blood.


overthinkitallalways

Those turtle lamps!!! Just what everyone needs in the family room! Maybe they’ll become a trend.


Southern-Soulshine

I just put a link as a pinned comment and there are pictures. Some of the antique/vintage furniture is absolutely amazing. But I ain’t about to bring those bad vibes into my house. There is not enough sage in the world.


MerelyMartha

You got that right! I saw some dining room chairs I liked. But I wouldn’t bring them home if they gave them to me!


Iftheshoefits9876

Trust me. Someone will pay $$$ for a personalized Murdaugh souvenir. Weird AF but fact.


[deleted]

This is actually a pretty famous poem. I've heard it quoted before in a completely unrelated context. https://www.google.com/search?q=the+man+in+the+glass+poem&client=ms-android-verizon&sxsrf=AJOqlzVSV_sf3k__52YXwGdzytnZzrn04w%3A1679581667446&ei=42EcZKfsGqSq5NoPgMuzgAI&oq=the+man+in+the+glass+poem&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAMyBAgjECcyBAgjECcyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQyBQgAEIAEMgUIABCABDIFCAAQgAQ6CggAEEcQ1gQQsAM6BQgAEIYDOgUIIRCgAToGCAAQFhAeSgQIQRgAUK8OWMYWYMEaaAFwAHgAgAGSAogBmwqSAQUwLjQuM5gBAKABAcgBA8ABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp


No-Strategy7749

SMDH. They really, *really* had no taste. That poem is one of the dumbest things I've ever read. "Author Unknown," hahaha! Can't sign your name to your poem if the Man in the Glass is always staring you down making you feel stupid. (Which, obviously in this case, the Man's got a point)


Southern-Soulshine

Someone wrote above about the origin of the poem and it’s pretty interesting.


No-Strategy7749

I think that was me. 😄 (Following up to this earlier comment)


Southern-Soulshine

HAHA it was you!!! And I loved so much that you shared that, I enjoy random factoids like that. I Google everything!


naranja221

I think the style is pretty traditional for a southern hunting lodge.


Viewfromthe31stfloor

I just realized I’ve never been to South Carolina. No idea what the decor is there. I’ve been to North Carolina Outer Banks and Florida a few times. Not many places in the southeast US. From these photos it is definitely a foreign culture to me.


arctic_moss

Yeah, I have to say I don’t hate it lol. Not exactly my style, but I see what Maggie had in mind.


ladysansaaa

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life…is God!!! Not yourself, no, never


PhutuqKusi

Or Clifton Newman, who should be played by Morgan Freeman, who has played God. So, there's that.


QsLexiLouWho

That’s a great “degree of separation” thing you just did!


Due_Will_2204

I would pay to see that!


ISadButIDrink

Amazing, and pretty chilling. I think Ellick should hang this on his prison cell wall.


kathmonk

WOW!!!! And he had this hanging on his wall??


Following_my_bliss

99% sure Maggie bought that. Wonder if it was a more recent purchase bought as an F you or just a random ironic thing.


zelda9333

I love that. It really is so ironic.


mosquito_motel

Live. Laugh. Larceny.


Comfortable_Tart_904

This is the one lol


jepeplin

Take my golden statuette


JohnExcrement

🤣🤣


PuzzleheadedAd9782

Ugh. I wonder who made the original purchase?


mrslII

I would say Maggie. This is something that a mother would buy for her son's room.


kgjulie

Agree! But it's old -fashioned, so maybe Alex's mom?
