Samuel Taylor Coleridge,
Quae Nocent Docent
(1789)
“ The cloisters' solitary gloom I'd round. 'Tis vain to wish, for Time has ta'en his flight — For follies past be ceas’d the fruitless tears: Let follies past to future care incite. Averse maturer judgements to obey Youth owns, with pleasure owns, the Passions' sway, But sage Experience only comes with years. ”
