day 53 /365 youth and age

SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE Youth And Age Verse, a breeze 'mid blossoms straying, Where Hope clung feeding, like a bee - Both were mine! Life went a-maying With Nature, Hope, and Poesy, When I was young! When I was young? -Ah, woeful When! Ah! for the change 'twixt Now and Then! This breathing house not built with hands, This body that does me grievous wrong, O'er aery cliffs and glittering sands How lightly then it flashed along, Like those trim skiffs, unknown of yore, On winding lakes and rivers wide, That ask no aid of sail or oar, That fear no spite of wind or tide! Nought cared this body for wind or weather When Youth and I lived in't together. Flowers are lovely; Love is flower-like; Friendship is a sheltering tree; O the joys! that came down shower-like, Of Friendship, Love, and Liberty, Ere I was old! Ere I was old?

Christina Rossetti

Scatter my laughter Among the inmates of old-age homes Whose children Are lost To the glittering cities of America. There are some colours Lying on my table With them dye the sari of the girl Whose border is edged With the blood of her man Who wrapped in the tricolor Was laid to rest last evening. Give my tears To all the poets Every drop Will birth a poem I promise. Make sure you catch the youth Of the country, everyone And inject them With my indignation They will need it Come to the revolution. My ecstasy Belongs to That Sufi Who Abandoning everything Has set off in search of God. Finally, What’s left My envy My greed My a...
