Oldman Formation - Age

Famous quotes containing the word age:

“Even such is Time, which takes in trust
Our youth, our joys, and all we have,
And pays us but with age and dust,
Who in the dark and silent grave
When we have wandered all our ways
Shuts up the story of our days.
And from which earth, and grave, and dust,
The Lord shall raise me up I trust.”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)

“Old age is always wakeful; as if, the longer linked with life, the less man has to do with aught that looks like death.”
—Herman Melville (1819–91)

“Old age is
a flight of small
cheeping birds
skimming
bare trees
above a snow glaze.”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
