Old age realizes the dreams of youth: look at Dean Swift in his youth he built an asylum for the insane, in his old age he was himself an inmate.
Though the Jazz Age continued it became less and less an affair of youth. The sequel was like a children's party taken over by the elders.
Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.
Youth is a wonderful thing. What a crime to waste it on children.
