“And my youth comes back to me.

And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.”

The flighty purpose never is oertook
Unless the deed go with it. From this moment
The very firstlings of my heart shall be
The firstlings of my hand. And even now,
To crown my thoughts with acts, be it thought and done:”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
