“Yet nightly pitch my moving tent,
A days march nearer home.”
—James Montgomery (17711854)
“My bangles left.
My best friends, tears,
went on forever.
My self-control
wouldnt sit still for a minute.
My mind made itself up
to go on ahead.
When my man
made up his mind to go,
everything else went,
just like him.
Life,
if you must go, too,
then dont forsake
your entourage of friends.”
—Amaru (c. seventh century A.D.)
“The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose, and pouch on side,
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
