Robert Southey Quotes About Youth

Quotes about: Youth

• I can remember, with unsteady feet,
  Tottering from room to room, and finding pleasure
  In flowers, and toys, and sweetmeats, things which long
  Have lost their power to please; which when I see them,
  Raise only now a melancholy wish
  I were the little trifler once again,
  Who could be pleas'd so lightly.
