Samling Academy Present: When I was One and Twenty

@ The Witham

Book Now

When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say,

“Give crowns and pounds and guineas but not your heart away;

Give pearls away and rubies but keep your fancy free.”

But I was one-and-twenty, no use to talk to me.

— AE Housman
