YOUTH, DAY, OLD AGE AND NIGHT.
YOUTH, large, lusty, loving—youth full of grace, force, fascination, |
Do you know that Old Age may come after you with equal grace,
force, fascination?
|
Day full-blown and splendid—day of the immense sun, action,
ambition, laughter,
|
The Night follows close with millions of suns, and sleep and
restoring darkness.
