“My salad days,
When I was green in judgment, cold in blood,
To say as I said then!”
As quoted, Antony and Cleopatra by William Shakespeare, Act I, scene V (1623)

Many Long Years Ago (1945), Song To Be Sung by the Father of Infant Female Children
Context: My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky;
Contrariwise, my blood runs cold
When little boys go by.
For little boys as little boys,
No special hate I carry,
But now and then they grow to men,
And when they do, they marry.
No matter how they tarry,
Eventually they marry.
And, swine among the pearls,
They marry little girls.
Corey's Coming
Song lyrics, On the Road to Kingdom Come (1976)
“A word is dead
When it is said,
Some say.
I say it just
Begins to live
That day.”
