“Ask me no more where Jove bestows,
When June is past, the fading rose;
For in your beautys orient deep
These flowers, as in their causes, sleep.
Ask me no more whither do stray
The golden atoms of the day;
For in pure love heaven did prepare
Those powders to enrich your hair.”
—Thomas Carew (15891639)
“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)
“I close my eyes and suck you in like a fire.
I grow. I grow. Im fattening out.
Im a kid in a rowboat and youre the sea,
the salt, youre every fish of importance.”
—Anne Sexton (19281974)
“Im a lumberjack
And Im OK,
I sleep all night
And I work all day.”
