| [00:00.568] | The Youth ,Goes Way ! |
| [00:02.18] | Man's youth is a wonderful thing: |
| [00:06.316] | it is so full of anguish and of magic |
| [00:09.166] | and he never comes to know it as it is, |
| [00:12.968] | until it has gone from him forever. |
| [00:16.648] | It is the thing he cannot bear to lose, |
| [00:19.748] | it is the thing |
| [00:20.748] | whose passing he watches with infinite sorrow and regret, |
| [00:25.949] | it is the thing whose loss with a sad and secret joy, |
| [00:36.472] | the thing he would never willingly relive again, |
| [00:40.23] | could it be restored to him by any magic. |
| [00:42.24] | Why is this? |
| [00:44.924] | The reason is that the strange and bitter miracle of life |
| [00:49.24] | is nowhere else so evident as in our youth. |
| [00:53.174] | And what is the essence of that strange and bitter miracle of life |
| [00:56.524] | which we feel so poignant ,so unutterable, |
| [00:59.674] | with such a bitter pain and joy,when we are young? |
| [01:06.924] | It is this:that being rich,we are so poor;that being mighty, |
| [01:12.724] | we can yet have nothing;that seeing,breathig,smelling, |
| [01:15.476] | tasting all around us the impossible wealth and glory of this earth, |
| [01:22.376] | feeling with an intolerable certitude |
| [01:26.695] | that the whole structure of the enchanted life – |
| [01:30.45] | the most fortunate,wealthy,good,and happy life |
| [01:34.483] | that any man has ever known –is ours –is ours at once, |
| [01:39.934] | immediately and forever,the moment that we choose to take a step, |
| [01:44.735] | or stretch a hand,or say a word- |
| [01:49.85] | we yet know that we can really keep,hold,take, |
| [01:51.785] | and possess forever-nothing.All passes; |
| [01:56.486] | nothing lasts:the moment that we put our hand upon it |
| [02:02.637] | ,it melts away like smoke,is gone forever, |
| [02:05.487] | and the snake is eating at our heart again; |
| [02:09.437] | we see then what we are and what our lives must come to. |
| [02:15.137] | A young man is so strong,so mad,so certain,and so lost. |
| [02:21.939] | He has everything and he is able to use nothing. |
| [02:25.239] | He hurls the great shoulder of his strength forever |
| [02:30.39] | against phantasmalbarriers, |
| [02:30.389] | he is a wave whose power explodes in lost mid – |
| [02:33.839] | oceans under timeless skies, |
| [02:40.339] | here-aches out to grip a fume of painted smoke, |
| [02:44.589] | he wants all,feels the thirst and power foreverything, |
| [02:49.90] | and finally gets nothing.In the end, |
| [02:53.140] | he is destroyed by his own strength, |
| [02:55.693] | devoured by his own hunger,impoverished by his own wealth. |
| [03:01.593] | Thoughtless of money or the accumulation of material possessions, |
| [03:05.393] | he is none the less defeated in the end by his own greed a greed |
| [03:13.594] | that makes the avarice of King Midas seem paltry by comparison. |
| [03:16.94] | And that is the reason why, |
| [03:20.594] | when youth is gone,every man will look back upon that period of his life |
| [03:24.794] | with infinite sorrow and regret. |
| [03:29.544] | It is the bitter sorrow and regret of a man |
| [03:32.645] | who knows that once he had a great talent and wasted it , |
| [03:37.546] | of a man who knows that once he had a great treasure and got nothing from it , |
| [03:43.797] | of a man who knows that he had strength enough for everything and never used it. |
