“Youth must be wanton, youth must be quick,
Dance to the candle while lasteth the wick,
Youth must be foolish and mirthful and blind,
Gaze not before and glance not behind,
Mark not the shadow that darkens the way-
Regret not the glitter of any lost day,
But laugh with no reason except the red wine,
For youth must be youthful and foolish and blind!”
― The Night of the Iguana

For youth must be youthful and foolish and blind!”
