1922
LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN

vYouth is still childhood: when we cast offevery cloudy vesture, and our thoughts areclear and mature; when every act is a consciousthought, every thought an attempt toarrest feeling; our feelings strong and overwhelming,our sensitiveness awakened byinsignificant things in life; when the skiesrace tumultuously with our blood, and theearth shines and laughs; when our bloodhangs suspended at the rustling of a gown.Our vanity loves to subdue—battle, aggressive.How we despise those older and duller—wewant life, newness, excitement.

(Circa 1916.)
