TBT: Irretrievable youth
https://oodmag.com/tbt-irretrievable-youth/
In smiling silence, we looked across the Basin into our youth. Like that buck-and-a-half plug, it was irretrievable.
What can I but enumerate old themes,
First that sea-rider Oisin led by the nose
Through three enchanted islands, allegorical dreams,
Vain gaiety, vain battle, vain repose,
Themes of the embittered heart, or so it seems.
-- "The Circus Animals’ Desertion" by William Butler Yeats
