Wachsames Quotes & Sayings

Maturity
A stationary sense ... as, I suppose,
I shall have, till my single body grows
Inaccurate, tired;

Take over, sickening and masterful

As if at pain; for it is pain, to think

Of compensating act and counter-act,
Defeat and counterfeit, makes up, in fact,
My ablest time. — Philip Larkin
