A woman is a creature that's always shopping.
Work while your strength and years permit you; crooked age will by-and-by come upon you with silent foot.
I too am not powerless, and my weapons strike hard.
The battle is over when the foe has fallen.
O ye gods! what thick encircling darkness blinds the minds of men!
Winged time glides on insensibly, and deceive us; and there is nothing more fleeting than years.
