To be in full bloom is not always easy: When at an apex, one has intimations � Each stage of life is equally precious, No number of years makes a glance less infectious, The child unchanging through all perturbations. Yet � there is that which might make a rose queasy. So naked the night! So painfully luscious! Each moment limned by unclouded sensations! Vicissitudes waiting, felicities breezy, Each day brings one closer to one's limitations: Never so perfect a time to perplex us!
