/ Yunan, Chine /

La jeunesse est un don de la nature, mais l’âge est une oeuvre d’art. – Garson Kanin

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art. – Garson Kanin

                                        / Sahara /

When Man, expell’d from Eden’s bowers,

A moment linger’d near the gate,

Each scene recall’d the vanish’d hours,

And bade him curse his future fate.

But, wandering on through distant climes,

He learned to bear his load of grief ;

Just gave a sigh to other times,

And found in busier scenes relief.

G. G. Byron
