And gazes around her with eyes of brightness;
Before the swift things that she dreamed of were done
She limps along in an aged whiteness....”

Cease to remember the delights of youth, travel-wearied aged man;
Delight becomes death-longing if all longing else be vain.”

Then cherish pity, lest you drive an angel from your door.”
