“I sometimes feel old these days when I am suddenly made aware of the little time ahead. it came to me with a sharp pang when I found myself saying, as I have done every spring for years, Housman's

And since I look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room
About the woodland I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow

But I have at most ten or fifteen springs! Is that possible? Almost a lifetime gone. On the other side though, what do I have is seventy springs in my head, and they flow back with all their riches now.”
― May Sarton, At Seventy: A Journal
