    As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him,
    so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the
    youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can
    never be so in mind.

Blow out, you bugles, over the rich Dead!
There's none of these so lonely and poor of old,
But, dying, has made us rarer gifts than gold.
These laid the world away: poured out the red
Sweet wine of youth; gave up the years to be
Of work and joy, and that unhoped serene
That men call age, and those who would have been
Their sons, they gave their immortality.
