Alexander Throckmorton
In youth my wings were strong and tireless,
But I did not know the mountains.
In age I knew the mountains
But my weary wings could not follow my vision
— Genius is wisdom and youth.
da “Antologia di Spoon River” di Edgar Lee Masters
Citato da Marco Malvaldi alla presentazione del suo libro “La carta più alta” alla libreria Ubik di Siena
