“Lord Christ! when I think back
Upon my youth, and on my gaiety,
It tickles me to the bottom of my heart. . . .
That I have had my day in my time.
But age, alas! that poisons everything,
Has robbed me of my beauty and my vigor;
Let it go, farewell, the devil go with it!
The flour is gone, there is no more to say,
The chaff, as best I can, I must sell now;
But still I will attempt to be right merry.”
― Chaucer Geoffry Chaucer

“Look at us, she said. We are all of us in this room
