Je suis venu au monde tres jeune dans un temps tres vieux

Opera is a musical scenery, a musical atmosphere in which the characters move and talk.

I came into the world very young, in an age that was very old.

We cannot doubt that animals both love and practice music. That is evident. But it seems their musical system differs from ours. It is another school....We are not familiar with their didactic works. Perhaps they don't have any.

I liked the bit about quarter to eleven.

I eat only white foods: eggs, sugar, grated bones, the fat of dead animals; veal, salt, coconut, chicken cooked in white water; fruit mold, rice, turnips; camphorated sausage, dough, cheese (white), cotton salad, and certain fish (skinless).
