[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’d make a smart-@ss comment, but I was taught to R-E-S-P-E-C-T my Elders. ;)

A wise policy, vestal virgin.
Like leaves on trees the race of man is found,
Now green in youth, now withering on the ground;
Another race the following spring supplies:
They fall successive, and successive rise.
