Wakes on the morn of its hundredth year
Without both feeling and looking queer.
In fact, theres nothing that keeps its youth,
So far as I know, but a tree and truth.”

“My flowery and green age was passing away, and I feeling a chill in
the fires had been wasting my heart, for I was drawing near the
hillside above the grave.”
—Petrarch (13041374)
