Doublets: Youth and Maturity

07/15/201201/27/2014 / Alexander Atkins / Leave a comment

Thou hast nor youth nor age,
But, as it were, an after-dinner’s sleep,
Dreaming on both

William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure (Act II, Scene 1)

In youth we learn; in age we understand.

Marie von Ebner-Eschenbach
