“A man I praise that once in Taras Halls
Said to the woman on his knees, Lie still,
My hundredth year is at an end. I think
That something is about to happen, I think
That the adventure of old age begins....”
—William Butler Yeats (18651939)
“Talleyrand said that two things are essential in life: to give good dinners and to keep on fair terms with women. As the years pass and fires cool, it can become unimportant to stay always on fair terms either with women or ones fellows, but a wide and sensitive appreciation of fine flavours can still abide with us, to warm our hearts.”
—M.F.K. Fisher (b. 1908)
