Age Quotes
-
Animals, these beings trappedAs I am trapped but not, themselves, the trap,Aging, but without knowledge of their age,Kept safe here, knowing not of death, for death- Oh, bars of my own body, open, open!The world goes by my cage and never sees me.
Randall Jarrell

Jessye Norman
-
Nay, if there's room for poets in the worldA little overgrown, (I think there is)Their sole work is to represent the age,Their age, not Charlemagne's, - this live, throbbing age,That brawls, cheats, maddens, calculates, aspires,And spends more passion, more heroic heat,Betwixt the mirrors of its drawing-rooms,Than Roland with his knights, at Roncesvalles.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
