Matthew Arnold - Youth`s AgitationsMatthew Arnold - Youth`s Agitations
Work rating: Low


When I shall be divorced, some ten years hence, From this poor present self which I am now; When youth has done its tedious vain expense Of passions that for ever ebb and flow; Shall I not joy  youth`s heats  are left behind, And breathe more happy in an even clime ?-- Ah no, for then I shall begin to find A thousand virtues in this hated time! Then I shall wish its agitations back, And all its thwarting currents of desire; Then I shall praise the heat which then I lack, And call this hurrying fever,  generous fire; And sigh that one thing only has been lent To youth and age in common--discontent.
