Commonplace Book

'...In youth the dining-room is not our temple, our sanctuary, our holy of holies, as it often is in riper years. In youth our souls are great, and our bodies slender; in old age our bodies are often great and our souls slender...'

from Red as a Rose is She by Rhoda Broughton (Chapter III)
