Myśli te zaprawione były pewną goryczą ludzi starych, którzy więcej cierpią nad utratą rzeczy dawnych, niż cieszą się z nadejścia nowych.

I continue to be interested in new things that seem old and old things that seem new.

I'm a regular guy; I like well-defined outlines. I'm old-fashioned, bourgeois.

New things are easier to do than old familiar things when there's going to be a change," Betsy decided profoundly.

I like to find old things
and I picked up that arrowhead
in tears, that broken point
that buried itself
once, in human flesh

but I traded it later
to a boy on horseback
in the southeast quarter
who begged me to have it
and gave me
a new bamboo basket

Old things are always in good repute, present things in disfavor.
