An aged man is but a paltry thing,
A tattered coat upon a stick, unless
Soul clap its hands and sing, and louder sing
For every tatter in its mortal dress,
Nor is there singing school but studying
Monuments of its own magnificence;
And therefore I have sailed the seas and come
To the holy city of Byzantium.
those bodily parts invisible up to now (kidneys,
lungs, arteries, brain, intestines, prostate, heart)
are all about to start making themselves distressingly
apparent, while the organ most conspicuous throughout
your life is doomed to dwindle into insignificance
Sublimate this!
