\u201cWhom the gods love die young,\u201d I used to quote
\nGlibly, but in the rather thoughtless way,
\nOne says a thing that he has learned by rote,
\nNot knowing the meaning which the words convey
\nFor then I thought it meant they died when young
\nIn years, and this no doubt is often true;
\nBut now with time a clearer note has rung
\nNew meaning to the words; there are a few
\nWhom time can never age\u2014not even with years;
\nThese keep a dream, nor let its flame burn low…
\nThey look ahead, beyond regrets and tears\u2014
\nOld age is something they can never know.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
