Lessons to Learn

E.B. White, Youth and Age:
This is what youth must figure out:
    Girls, love, and living.
    The having, the not having,
    The spending and giving,
And the melancholy time of not knowing.

This is what age must learn about:
    The ABC of dying.
    The going, yet not going,  
    The loving and leaving,
And the unbearable knowing and knowing.
