Is but a beginning to be something else
Than what we were before; and when we cease
To be that something, then we call it death.”

“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them.
