They still adore us for the most part, not yet having reached that age of thinking everything we do is dumb, old-fashioned and irrelevant.

Five golden years, Heart of Mine, have we walked the way of life together, and there is not an hour I would have changed; there is no moment when I would have you other than you have been.

It is neither a poet's fancy nor a trick of the imagination, but a thing of fadeless and unending beauty.
