Wails so in winter for the summers dead,
And all sad sounds are nature's funeral cries
For what has been and is not.”

shameful to name it and then to shut your eyes,
shameful to call a funeral a wedding
and play the fool at funerals besides.”

It is a natural corollary of these changes that we should work longer and retire later.”
