More From Marya Mannes

Crabbed age and youth cannot live together; youth is full of pleasure, age is full of care; youth like summer morn, age like winter weather; youth like summer brave, age like winter bare. youth is full sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, age is tame. age, i do abhor thee; youth, i do adore thee.

Youth is full of sport, age's breath is short; youth is nimble, age is lame; youth is hot and bold, age is weak and cold; youth is wild, and age is tame.

What is a country? a country is a piece of land surrounded on all sides by boundaries, usually unnatural. englishmen are dying for england, americans are dying for america, germans are dying for germany, russians are dying for russia. there are now fifty or sixty countries fighting in this war. surely so many countries can't all be worth dying for.
