>Twenty-nine’s Fell Shadow! O, inhospitably final year of any Pretense to Youth, its Dreams now, how wither’d away . . . tho’ styl’d a Prime, yet bid’st thou Adieu to the Prime of Life! . . .  there, in the Stygian Mists of Futurity, loometh the dread Thirty,-- Transition unspeakable! Prime so soon fallen, thy Virtu so easily broken, into a Number divisible,-- penetrable!—by six others!”
