The Youth ,Goes Way ![00:00:00]
Man's youth is a wonderful thing:[00:00:02]
it is so full of anguish and of magic[00:00:06]
and he never comes to know it as it is,[00:00:09]
until it has gone from him forever.[00:00:12]
It is the thing he cannot bear to lose,[00:00:16]
it is the thing[00:00:19]
whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret,[00:00:20]
it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy,[00:00:25]
the thing he would never willingly relive again,[00:00:36]
could it be restored to him by any magic.[00:00:40]
Why is this?[00:00:42]
The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life[00:00:44]
is nowhere else so evident as in our youth.[00:00:49]
And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life[00:00:53]
which we feel so poignant ,so unutterable,[00:00:56]
with such a bitter pain and joy,when we are young?[00:00:59]
It is this:that being rich,we are so poor;that being mighty,[00:01:06]
we can yet have nothing;that seeing,breathig,smelling,[00:01:12]
tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth,[00:01:15]
feeling with an intolerable certitude[00:01:22]
that the whole structure of the enchanted life –[00:01:26]
the most fortunate,wealthy,good,and happy life[00:01:30]
that any man has ever known –is ours –is ours at once,[00:01:34]
immediately and forever,the moment that we choose to take a step,[00:01:39]
or stretch a hand,or say a word-[00:01:44]
we yet know that we can really keep,hold,take,[00:01:49]
and possess forever-nothing.All passes;[00:01:51]
nothing lasts:the moment that we put our hand upon it[00:01:56]
,it melts away like smoke,is gone forever,[00:02:02]
and the snake is eating at our heart again;[00:02:05]
we see then what we are and what our lives must come to.[00:02:09]
A young man is so strong,so mad,so certain,and so lost.[00:02:15]
He has everything and he is able to use nothing.[00:02:21]
He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever[00:02:25]
he is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid –[00:02:30]
against phantasmalbarriers,[00:02:30]
oceans under timeless skies,[00:02:33]
here-aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke,[00:02:40]
he wants all,feels the thirst and power foreverything,[00:02:44]
and finally gets nothing.In the end,[00:02:49]
he is destroyed by his own strength,[00:02:53]
devoured by his own hunger,impoverished by his own wealth.[00:02:55]
Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions,[00:03:01]
he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed[00:03:05]
that makes the avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison.[00:03:13]
And that is the reason why,[00:03:16]
when youth is gone,every man will look back upon that period of his life[00:03:20]
with infinite sorrow and regret.[00:03:24]
It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man[00:03:29]
who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it ,[00:03:32]
of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it ,[00:03:37]
of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it.[00:03:43]
