Nor could it ever have been old.

Our shopman’s test of age and worth,
Was elemental when he died,
As he was ancient at his birth:”
—Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869–1935)

“Shows the old personal art, the look. Shows what
It showed at baseball. What it showed in school.”

My blood flows in thy stream,
And thou meanderest forever
At the bottom of my dream.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
